Feeling like the start of Spring. Taking stock of what survived the winter.
Garden is growing nicely - bluebells and dandilions flowering, and the first of the Green Alkanet is flowering. Lots of bees. Some nice violets in the grass. 2/3 rhubarbs survived the winter. As did chard, beetroot and perhaps another leafy green thing.
Pulled out a few alkanets to give some other things more of a chance.
Oh and Rosemary, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Mint (in the pot out front) all doing well.
Plum blossom was good, now going over.

Dry season planting
Cabbage (garden snips for scale)
Bought a very small, manageable looking amount of seedlings. Turns out it's a whole day job getting them in the ground. This has happened to me so many times and I never learn.
#GardenUpdate 1/? from this year. We have a good deal to get caught up on, so let’s begin.
It appears as though only two of the six Purple Passion asparagus crowns that I sowed in the fall, survived the winter. They were rotten when they got to me and I was heartbroken. #DisabilityTax
Peonies are doing well, serviceberry is blooming, and slowly but surely I will make this garden pretty.
