Well, tomorrow is the first class in the Master Gardeners course. Hope I make it through the first day. It should be interesting since I am going into this blind.

I can finally see the grass through the melting snow. Some of the small saplings are starting to snap back up after being bent over from the snow load. Mother Nature did a little pruning on the blueberry bushes. The snow took off some of the older limbs.
Our wetlands are on the full side with all the rain, warm temps and the snow melt. There is a flood watch for most of the small streams and rivers into tomorrow. It’s nice to see the snow going, but it’s going to be a little sloppy for awhile.

Well, I was one of the lucky winners. I was notified that I had been chosen as one of the partisipants in the 2009 Master Gardener class. The next step is paying the class fee.
I told a friend that I was taking the class and her responce was “Your not going to be another one of them!”. I hope not, but I am sure she will let me know if I should start down that path.
The class starts Jan, 8th and runs through March 19th.

Well, I have put in my application to the WSU Extension Service to see if they will let me take the Master Gardener course. Hopefully I am not biting off more than I can chew. The class runs for sixteen weeks, one class a week which is eight hours. If you graduate you are required to put in fifty hours of volunteer work. All of those accepted (winners) will be notified on the 10th of November. The anticipation is growing by the day.
The leafs have fallen off most of the brush (salmonberry) so I will be able to get out into the woods and see how many of the new trees have survived. Didn’t get too many planted last spring. Probably fifty or so Shore Pine. They were three year old trees that had spent one year in our nursery. It gave them a head start on the brush. They don’t much care for the shade.
