Waiting

3/4/21 Waning Gibbous Moon | High 63 | Low 34

Over the last couple of weeks, I got most of the heavy lifting I wanted to get done around the garden out of the way. It seems like there are always projects to work on, but at the moment I am going to enjoy a little of the calm before the storm. Compost is spread, seeds are started, sprouts are sprouting, it’s too cold for insects, the weeds haven’t woken up yet and the squirrels have almost given up digging around all over the garden. There is not much to do but wait. I did order 2 paw paws and 2 serviceberries so I am waiting for them, as well. It is nice to enjoy the garden with out feeling as though I must do something. It is fun to watch it come to life. It takes a bit of patience this time of year, though. It seems so slow, but with the warmth and the sun, things are starting to perk up. The next few weeks will see big changes.

Yugoslavian Red Lettuce. About to plant out.
Kale. The seed starting area was getting crowded, so some things had to be moved out.
Sown radish and lettuce coming up under row cover.
The section planted 1/1 has been out from under the cover for almost two weeks. Looking good, but growing slow. Garlic along the front is starting to look alive.
Blueberry buds. Vaccinium spp.
Lacinato Kale. Standing tall through the winter.
Daffodil ‘Dutch Master’. Narcissus spp.
