Spring is springing
In the garden is still an enormous amount of things to do. Most of my January & February jobs haven’t been done yet, but, I am hopeful and excited for this year ahead. All in good time and such.
I’ve got lots of seedlings going, potted up the first dahlias, with one already sprouting, last years ones seem to have not gotten worse, the crocosmia have started sprouting in the sleeper steps, my pink blueberry is full of buds. The mirrorballs in the greenhouse shine so nice in the sun, the crocuses out front look stunning despite the weeds.
Today was a lovely start to the month, we even had our first cuppa in the afternoon sunshine today!
