4/29/30 Frost 5 times this week, Rain this weekend, Asparagus is coming up finally. Cherry blossoms, dandelions blooming

 Cherry blossoms starting. Daffodils ending. Dandelions, creeping charlie blooming. Chickweed growing. Roses leafing out.















Asparagus coming up. Greens growing well in coldframes. Cress flowering. Field peas doing well in open patio bed. Carrots coming up too in that bed. (Covered carrots with a sheet at night to protect from frost.




















Planted peas in front circle garden. Ordered and received caraway and semi-trailing caraway seeds. Caraway is so expensive in the store. Same with Dill. Planted seedlings from greenhouse into front east garden. Moved the sedums to northwest side of house. Planted swiss chard and shade seedlings on west side of house with sedums. We cut the grass the first time this year. Grass is very long with all the rain. I have been pulling full buckets of dandelions every day from front lawn. Planted more hostas on north side of house and wood chipped around them so they won't get mowed. (The three I planted last year got run over with the lawn mower but they should survive.) Need to get more wood chips.

















Greenhouse really still too cold for warm weather plants so I have been bringing in the Fenugreek. Can't wait to see if it really tastes like maple syrup.
