After a pretty dull winter, in so many ways, it is a joy to have all the new growth appear.This is the section of our multi-apple tree that bears the Orange Pippin which is not really hardy here and so gets very special attention. It is also the first to flower which makes it even more tender as our last frost isn't for another month. Time to get out the tree blanket!
The peas finally decided to make their appearance yesterday and jumped an inch out of the ground. We will also have an abundance of salads this year also. The poppy seeds I scattered just before the big winds in March are up in one case, not in another. Don't know whether to blame the seeds or the wind. Have about two thousand seedlings of the American Legion poppy and none from the multi-colored poppies. Oh well, that's gardening.
Happy Spring wherever you are!
