"It appears we have turned the corner on a very long winter and finally, spring is more evident with each warming day..."
Returnees
The shade loving Foamflower has rallied from a long winter retreat; it has spread out and is filling an essential corner quite nicely this year!
Wildflowers
First volunteers: Vibrant Columbine has popped up literally overnight and is a massive purple haze!
Rhodondenrons are preparing for a vast showing very shortly...
Early Edibles
First-of- the-season tomato plant is in the ground: Stupice, another unique find from the Springfield Farmers’ Market. Due date: 52 days and counting. Be still, my heart! Can this be true?
"Extremely early potato-leaf Czech heirloom that bears abundant very sweet, flavorful 2 to 3” deep red fruit. A 1988 comparative tasting in the San Francisco Bay area gave it first place for its wonderful sweet/acid, tomatoey flavor and production."
Herbs and Such
Outcropping of nearly invasive Greek Oregano and a tiny spring Strawberry is in bloom!
Weekly Forecast
"Cooling temperatures with intermittent rain. Sigh. What happened to'April showers bring May flowers'?"
