Spring Has Sprung
Everything started turning green about a month earlier than usual.
Dogwood blooming as the wood lot greens up. |
The goats are happy with the fresh forage and the cats are happy with the warmer weather.
Ellie with two of her triplets. Meowy flying in the background. |
The only question was whether to take a risk and plant the summer garden early, or wait until our traditional last frost date.
Most of my winter greens have gone to flower, but the lettuce is doing well. Shown here with fava beans, and garlic. |
Fall planted fava beans. I lost about half, but the ones that survived are blooming like crazy. |
Lone lacinato kale with flowering radishes. |
Multiplier onions. |
And in that multiplier onion bed. . .
A volunteer potato! |
I decided to wait. Here’s a look at what we’re enjoying these days.
Apple blossoms |
Pear blossoms |
Mulberry. Immature berries look hopefully numerous. |
One of our two redbuds. This one may have to come down because it shades the solar panels in the late afternoon. |
Bridal wreath |
Periwinkle starting to bloom. |
Yarrow. |
Newly budding oak leaves against a beautiful blue sky. |
The weather forecast for the weekend includes another cold front coming through with rain and nighttime lows back in the 30s. That’s okay because I don’t want it to get too hot too quickly. I’d like to enjoy spring for as long as we can!
How about you? How’s April treating you so far?
