Our weather is full of invigorating crazy. Yesterday and today, the temp beat 90 degrees. Tomorrow, we expect no more than the early sixties. Not only don’t I know how to dress, I’m not sure I want to.

You and You Are Me
That’s five bales of straw between friends.
100 Fires 100 Days
Clockwise from top right: herbs and potato, bakchoi, brussels sprouts, carrot and parsnip, carrot and celery, kale, carrot and rapini, chard. It’s like looking at baby pictures: you see the resemblance, but wonder what #^)#^@^_@^ happened.
To Eradicate My Negative Views
After last year, I opened the old bags and added the soil to the solarizing beds. This year, I started fresh again. These bags are planted with lettuce, spinach, tarragon and other herbs, but I didn’t label because I like surprises. Speaking of surprises, in my area, people plant after Mothers Day, so we can all be surprised my garden’s sprouting so cheerfully.
All Week And Still I
Truly baby carrots.
Me, Us, We Are One
The scents on the breeze changed last week and now we believe in the springiness of this spring, as opposed to winter’s nyah-nyah, got-yer-nosiness. The forsythia, fooled once, bloom carefully. The heather has no such reservations.
And Melt Into This Lake
Pete and I walked around the tiny town, taking pictures of spring. This patch of daffodils brightened our street.
The dead Christmas tree was an outlier.
I Can’t See Nothing
The reason this looks wrong is I’m trying to do it right.
This morning, I started my sweet potato slips. Supposedly, you can’t plant sweet potatoes any other way, except I have. Now I wonder if that was beginner’s luck or sweet potatoes taking pity on me or something. Either way, this time, I’m trying out growing the slips.
Sweet potato plants are pleasant company. Don’t worry about them, don’t pay any attention to them at all. They are the self-sufficient free-thinkers in your garden. Water them now and then and they will produce lovely vines and charming sweet potatoes. If you travel a lot during the growing season or neglect your garden shamelessly, growing sweet potatoes is for you.
His Pot Is Blacker Than
Set aside your sprouted potatoes in a cool, dark place and in a few weeks, you’ll have potatoes ready for planting.
To Do Nothing To Lose
I grew some carrots! They were carroty!
