Beautiful Spring Day

Sure a nice day but nothing doing much yet. Been cool. I see one shoot of asparagus coming and the eggplant starting to send up leaves.

There is such a big difference between your spring and winter pictures. It is hard for me to imagine how everything manages to green up so quickly. Your sky is very blue, I guess you don't get much air pollution where you are. You have a beautiful farm.

Nice spring day here today also, a little bit windy, sun and 60 degrees all day, tonight will probably be the last frost. 75 tomorrow, 80 the next day, and 81 the day after that. I might actually get to plant tomatoes and peppers this weekend.

Is that the trick to growing egg plant? Plant seeds in cold weather and they come up when it gets warm. My egg plants always die even when I buy 4 plants in a tray. Maybe they don't like 100 degree weather.

Yes, and today it snowed for 5 hours. Now its all white again. Likely won't take long for the snow to leave as soon as the sun comes out?

Saturday April 16, Clear blue skies, 38 degrees, and an inch of snow on my garden plot. Guess I won't be planting?

Won't be long and you will have produce from your garden as pretty as those flowers. Always enjoy your garden to mountain picture.

I agree with you Marlingardener!

Enjoying the all day sprinkle of rain we have gotten in the last two days. Before the rains yesterday I planted my beans, basil, and okra....the last of my spring/summer vegetables.
Harvesting artichokes, tomatoes, strawberries, beets, carrots, spinach and brussel sprouts! Goobye winter stuff!
