My Witch Hazel bush bloomed this week. I love that thing. It blooms in February some years... crazy. Chaucer took out all of his nervous energy on it and chewed all of the branches off but one... sad. But it is still there and it is still blooming. Bright red in winter.
I also ordered my seeds last week. This year's garden is going to be ... interesting. I had an awful time with tomato horn worms last year, so, I am giving my garden a year long break from tomatoes in hopes that that will starve off the hornworms. So, taking that as a launching point, I am having a primarily root vegetable garden this year. There are three exceptions to the rule. I am still planting cucumbers. I am planting cilantro, and Dill. (I intend to make pickles this year and cilantro is quickly becoming a must in this house). This years garden will include a few types, and colors, of carrots, beets, turnips, rutabagas, radishes, and parsnips. I also have a small herb row that will carry over from last year with some thyme and sage and a few other things. I love to talk gardens. I love to talk spring.
