Not a huge amount to show in blooms. What is needed is the rain to stop for a while, the temps to warm up and the sun to come out.

Right now it's been nothing but very cool temps and rain just about day after day.

2/3 of the seedlings are planted, but still so much left and more rain for the next 3 days.
