The spring sun is warm, the bluebirds are singing, and there are signs of life in the gardens. Walk with me.
Forsythia just starting to bloom.
Crocuses are popping up in unexpected places.
Arugula is first out of the gate for our seed starting. This seed is 10 years old! Don’t give up on your brassicas.
Valerian
Salad burnet, an excellent early, perennial green that tastes like cucumbers!
Lovage
Motherwort
Garlic chives. We can’t get enough of these and have planted many more this year.
Volunteer yarrow, growing in difficult ground.
Violets, another great early salad green.
These beautiful daffodils survived dormant under a spruce tree for 20 years. The tree died two years ago, and the daffodils are thriving again!
