The Late February Spring fever

“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”

— Margaret Atwood

I smelled like dirt after a Saturday spent turning the vegetable garden under and moving some well composted wood chips. February is just flying by and it's like I  blinked and it feels like 

Spring is here. 

The rock Garden is starting into bloom flower by flower. 

A few Iris reticulata are blooming now in the greenhouse and the garden.

The weather was so great today, sunny and warm and it was actually dry for about 4 days or so this week! The sun and the dirt are like battery rechargers for me. And the best part of the day is just winding down and walking around the garden and seeing all the new things coming into bloom.

Sunny with highs in the upper 50's and lows in the upper 20's. 

Cheers,
