Ah...Signs of Spring

The weather has turned nippy again, but I got some pictures on Friday while it was warm.
We inherited a profusion of daffodils and other bulbs planted with reckless abandon by the previous owners. The daffodils are blooming a few weeks earlier than usual.


The hanover (flat-leaf kale) I planted last fall is growing. Only a few plants survived, but the ones that did are doing quite well. We enjoyed some for dinner last week. I think these will be on our dinner plate tomorrow.

The neighbor's Bradford pear tree is in bloom.

The garlic planted in the fall is growing - and so are the weeds.

Onion sets hadn't arrived at the local garden centers when I checked about 10 days ago, so when I noticed a package of red pearl onions at the grocery store, I couldn't resist. The young cashier made a remark about how difficult it might be to peel them. He was surprised when I told him they were going in the ground! They are just beginning to sprout.

Ah...spring!
