Cool weather in the garden

Cool - for the Mid-Atlantic - temperatures and a holiday weekend. A perfect recipe for gardening.

There is something about low 80s and low humidity that gives a gardener the energy of a teen-ager.

Garden Variety asked some of her Facebook friends what they will be doing in the garden this weekend.

And she's asking you, too. Let me know your plans.

Here are some of the responses so far:

Kathy Jentz of Washington Gardener is still putting in tomatoes!

Susie Jordan has two hollies to plant and plenty of weeding to do. (I hear ya!)

Weeding, watering, and maybe looking for a dill to transplant. It's nice that we'll be having a mild weekend in California too!

I LOVE California weather! -- Susan

Wishing for low 80s and low humidity here in North Florida - lol. Steamy hot this morning after an inch and a half of rain yesterday.

Stop taunting me!

We had temps in the low 80s ... between 3 and 6AM. I plan to spend the next two and a half months inside, with a cold beverage in my hand.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
