Some may remember that I stated my differences with Paxatawny Phil. He did not see his shadow. I saw mine. We have had 5 weeks of miserable winter weather in Charlotte since Groundhog day. Finally it seems that Spring has sprung. No freezing temperatures are predicted for the next 10 days. The cherry blossoms are popping out like crazy. The daffodils are blooming. The arugula in the garden has sprouted. Hallelujah!!
The broccoli and bok choy that was planted a few weeks ago is doing well. The little cages have kept it from running away to find greater happiness in Bugs Bunny’s stomach. Even Bambi’s mama hasn’t bothered it. Her tracks are all over the garden. She really hasn’t eaten anything that I can tell. We are eating spinach finally from the fall planting. The old arugula is really getting ratty. I hope it will last until the new is ready to pick.
Everything that is going to be planted in the greenhouse has been planted except for a few more Marglobe tomatoes. There are more trays with sprouted stuff than with un-sprouted stuff. The Nasturtiums and the Cilantro are big enough to plant; but I will be satisfied to repot them instead. For the last several years we have had a late cold snap on or shortly after Easter weekend.
