The price of corned beef has suddenly gone up and is on sale. Cabbage is too. Everyone is getting ready for St. Patty’s day. It is after all the real all American rite of spring. At least a few of the beds in the garden are getting their green clothes out. The Arugula came up on the 10th. The spinach, kale, rape, mustard and turnips popped up yesterday (the 11th). They should be large enough to bring color to the garden in another 5 days.
Something has been digging in the sugar peas. I hope the did not eat all the seeds. There were a couple of seeds laying on top of the ground; so maybe the digger was looking for earthworms. A few of the onion sets have sprouted. That means it is almost time to plant a follow-up crop. One never needs to run out of onions.
The cherry trees on Sardis Rd. are blooming. That is the signal that the sap is rising and Spring is springing. This weekend the time changes giving us an extra hour in the garden each day. Praise be to Mother Earth.
