Over the course of the winter, we had plenty of rain. It's comforting to know the water table has been replenished.
In my travels at the beginning of the week, there were a few complaints about the still-chilly days.
Last Tuesday's wind made it difficult to be a good sport. It blew plant pots all over the place, tore plastic off the cold frame and made being outside downright unpleasant.
The good news, however, is spring has definitely sprung. Some of the large ornamental trees are in full bloom, daffodils are at their peak and the early planted greens are ready to eat.
My onion babies have been out in their flats for a few weeks and have experienced several freezes.
The plummeting temperatures at the beginning of the week turned me into a crybaby. I was getting used to warm, early spring.
