Finally some nice warm Spring weather! The Forsythia bushes have started blooming the last 2 days, daffodils are blooming, rhubarb is starting to peak through, the garlic we planted last Fall is looking good, the peach trees are about to pop out, the apricot trees have been blooming for a few days, strawberries in the hoop house are blooming and making little berries, and the grass is going to need to be cut in the next week! It's amazing how quickly things start to grow with just a few days of warm sunshine! We've planted around 2000 candy onions, and 2 bushel of onion bulbs for green onions. We've got sweet potato slips to get going and regular potatoes to cut up and cure so we can get them planted. Uncovered the outside strawberries so hopefully it will stay above freezing and we won't have to cover them back up. They should start blooming in the next week or so if it stays nice and warm. Of course now that it's warm enough and dry enough to do these things it's started to rain! It rained last night and more expected tonight and tomorrow! I've got basil seedlings to transplant and need to get more started and also want to get parsley started. Things are starting to get busy, busy, busy!!!!!!! :)
