Yesterday morning there was still enough snow on the ground to deter me from getting into my hill garden.
It was a rather raw and blustery day, but by evening the snow had actually melted enough that I was able to open the gate and meander about. In spots the snow is still nearly up to my knees, but my raised beds are emerging.
Last year I had already sown my sugar snap peas by April 5th...what a difference! I have to admit, mud season lasted about a week and that was just fine with me. Pretty soon I'll be bitching about blackflies and ticks.
But it's opening up more every day...
Inside I've transplanted my impatiens, which are doing very well. I sowed some pansies and they're not germinating as well as hoped, but thankfully I have an abundance of seed to try again. Today I sowed cosmos, petunia, annual aster, and amaranth. I'm hoping that by next weekend I'll be able to set up the poly tunnel.
Meanwhile, in the pasture...
...love is in the air.
