What a difference a month makes









Just one month later and the April 1st snow is long forgotten. There are snap peas coming up, and lettuce, cilantro, spinach and chard.

Finally we have had a few days where it's not raining, snowing and/or generally cold. Yesterday I got kentucky pole beans, french filet beans, brussels sprouts, broccoli, and basil planted.

These are the good days when the sweetest reward is just the plant emerging from the ground...long before the fungus and blight and critters and hot/dry summer sucks the life out of everything and gardening becomes a daily fight for survival.
