Garden 2011

We had a lovely time watching the emergence of spring, with gorgeous iris, blooming onion, forsythia, and dogwoods


lemon balm awakening from its slumber to conquer the world!


We started in early spring with seedling trays of onions, broccoli, kale, calendula, lettuce, and 10 lbs of garlic in the ground. We had a very wet spring, which was great for the greens. I am always amazed at the power of the moment of transition from the dead, empty appearance of winter to the rapid green growth of spring. Its a season of renewal, hope, and promise. As the strength of the sun returns, and the forsythia and daffodils emerge, I can feel my energy levels and spirits start to rise. This is a time of planning for the long year ahead.
