Crocus and Lenten Blooming

Saturday morning brought Lenten roses blooming like crazy. Sunday brought the Crocus. The onions that were planted last week are sending up tiny little green shoots. We are eating salads from the garden. It feels as if spring has sprung. It may be too early to rejoice, but it ok to revel in the warm sun as long as it last. Not to complain, but a little rain would not hurt. The garden has been watered three times and it is only February.

I know I have been pretty slack about posting to the blog for the last 2 months. The Master Gardening® class is taking a lot of time. More time is being spent learning than teaching. Perhaps this blog will have more quality information due to the efforts in the class and the things learned in the Master Gardener® program.

The greenhouse is doing great. Cabbage and other brassicas have been transplanted to the garden. Many things have been repotted to larger pots and another set of brassicas has been taken off of the pads and put on an unheated bench. They will probably be set outside for hardening off starting next week.
