Last year, the winter was so mild, I had cabbages, lettuces, and herbs available all winter. This year, we've had multiple long, cold freezes, so I've been watching the gardens carefully for signs of life, and planting peas and lettuces. After a week away, I returned to find brilliant patches of color bursting through the mulch. Above, the phlox is really amazing.
MY PRIMROSE (excerpt)
by Joseph Horatio Chant
My sweet primrose with thy open face,
And with fringe-like leaves, without a trace
Of coarseness, either in flower or stem,
Among all my plants thou art the gem.
Yep, those are strawberry blossoms! No sign of life yet in the asparagus bed though.
