On a walk this morning, I noticed a tree with no spring leaves. While getting closer to look up through the canopy, I saw 3 large Morel #mushrooms under the tree. Finding the mushrooms is great but...
It was an old Ash tree. I don't think the tree is dead but is probably dying. It's showing signs of an Emerald Ash Borer infestation. The EAB is an invasive insect and has been found in many parts of #Vermont.
I can't do anything practical to save this tree, but I can start growing more Ash trees.

After 19 days the first potato sprouts are starting to emerge from the soil. Great timing, as we likely had our last frost temperatures last night.

Some distraction and a couple of days not checking on my tomato seeds. Boom, super leggy seedlings.
About 50 of 120 seeds germinated without any light.
Should be able to fix them by planting them a bit deeper, when potting them on into individual pots.
The variety in the photo is Super Sweet 100 a cherry tomato.
