Impatient. Frustrated. Anxious …
We have perhaps been feeling like this lately.
It has been a cold spring – cold enough to put us behind on our spring planting. The ground has just been too cold & too wet to do much.
Certainly we are ready – and have been ready for awhile!
But finally this week conditions were right and we were able to get a lot planted. Now it’s raining (but not too much hopefully) which is great for getting them established.
Lettuce, pak choy, cabbage, broccoli, green onions, radishes … are in the ground now. And as soon as these rains are over and the soil has dried we’ll continue our planting with beets, spinach, kohlrabi, arugula …
The snow peas that were seeded early in April are growing slowly but surely.
In the greenhouse the tomato plants are looking great. Will the weather allow us to get them out in the field in a couple of weeks?
We cannot change the weather.
But we can choose to stay calm & focused.
Good growing weather is ahead!

So Glad to hear from you and to get your photos. Well I will tell you that Spring has come to my ‘hood as I am proud to say I have the most dandelions of anyone on my street. Used to curse them but after snow in April glad to welcome a seasonal change.
