ceeloveMostly because it makes me happy to note it:
Many many scores of crocuses, including colors I haven't before seen
One fat bumblebee making turgid, drunken love to the crocuses
Dozens of vibrant purple jumbo crocuses
Several shades of lovely dwarf irises
Daffodils just opening
Squill popping up
Tulips plants, many with tinges or bold stripes of burgundy - to open this week?
Hyacinths emerging
Strawberry and raspberry plants leafing out
Robins, cardinals, jays, crows, grackles, mourning doves, sparrows, pigeons...and a hawk who eats the pigeons (I've seen it twice this winter on nearby garages!)
Many lettuces, mustard greens, spinach, bok choi, snap and snow peas, and fava beans planted, along with "green mulch" of clover
Cold frame, um, not done, but still making progress! and it will allow us to plant tomatoes early and with impunity to late frosts. :)
And inside, seed trays of leeks, kohlrabi, and broccoli doing nicely for April planting, and many tomatoes started for later...
