The trees are budding, the girls are wearing short skirts and tank tops. Is that a lawn mower I hear? Some people say this has been the worst winter ever. I think Charlotte dodged the bullet. A good freeze is still possible. There are Indian Summers surely there can be Indian Winters.
The ground in the garden is ready for the serious planting. The summer seeds go in on Good Friday. The plants go in the ground the following weekend. Some of the plants are so big they may have to go in earlier. Nasturtiums and Cilantro are the heroes of the greenhouse this year. I hope they will be heroes in the garden. The basil is the week sister. It looks like the garden may have to play host to store-bought basil again. Everything else is pretty much on schedule.
Raised beds are really wonderful. They are easy to plant and weed and they can be planted when the rest of the garden is still wet. Also, they warm up faster than the dirt level beds.
