Spring is true romance ๐๐
Happy Spring to you! ๐ We're dipping down to 21F tomorrow night, and may even get another blast of snow before the weekend....but we made it through the darkness!! I'm looking forward to all the golden hours to come in the garden ๐

Late August in the kitchen ๐ป Sunflowers remind us to seek the light and joy in our lives. Last year, I grew the most I ever have - sucession planting them every 1-2 weeks.

I planted this elderberry tree in May of 2021. This year, it grew taller than the fence and flowered for the first time! I can't wait to harvest these berries to make syrup soon ๐
Got scapes? When growing garlic It's important to harvest the scapes so that the plant can put more energy into growing the bulbs. Plus, you get to enjoy them in the kitchen!
Fresh rose petals, anyone?! ๐ I've missed these.

So soft and delicate, Trillium shows us compassion and strengthens our spiritual ties. I'm in love with these lilies of the woods! If you look closely, you can spy my other half, Davey ๐
I was pulling these twice a day last week during our heat wave. Another freeze warning tonight...If the weather could warm up just a smidge, please๐ค
It was so cold and rainy out today. I got maybe 30 minutes of planting in before the rain pushed me inside. It was a sign for me to make myself this little arrangement left over from this weekends harvest ๐
Peach always brings that perfect splash of brightness. This was my sun out there today while I worked ๐๐
I feel like I'm in a trance after all that yo-yo weather...is this real life? Are tulips really loading for the weekend?!! ๐ฆ
Yet mark'd where the bolt of Cupid fell: It fell upon a little western flower, before milk-white, now purple with love's wound, and maidens call it love-in-idleness.
April showers ๐ง all night, coaxed the first hyacinths out๐ชป
Got the rest of the new roses in today, under that beautiful blue sky. It warmed up to 65F... the warmest it's been here in forever, it seems ๐Started some zinnia and basil seeds too all before the rain came and ruined my blue sky party ๐
It's been another gray and rainy day over here. After work, I braved the mud to check on some nearby bramble and took some forsythia cuttings to bring inside ๐
My winter onion experiment is going well! ๐ง I started these from seed last fall. It took everything in me not to pull one, just to take a peak ๐ I fed them good today, and they got some well-deserved sun.
Spring bouquet subscriptions will be closing this weekend. Italian ranunculus, French tulips, and double narcissus are some of the ephemeral jewels we've got in store for you! ๐

It was 32F, but the sun made it feel much better... though my fingers are still frozen from being out there ๐ I did some planting out in one of my low tunnels today and checked on anything that wasn't covered in snow.
Here's sage looking rather triumphant!
