Hello Reader,
I love this time of year. It’s such a nice contrast to begin to take longer walks and spend time noticing the change in the air as plants push forth from their slumber. I don’t have much blooming yet at my house, just Daffodils, with Tulips, Fritillaria, and Sweet Meadow Rue on their tail.
What is blooming in your garden at this time of year?
I’d love to hear from you about what you have growing. Just reply to this email or drop a post in our Facebook group.
Virginia Bluebells blooming in the ephemeral light of a forest in spring.
Field Notes:
Next year, I’d love to have more moments of bloom in the garden at this time of year. So, I’ll be sure to plant more this year with that in mind. Perhaps some Virginia Bluebells en masse like the photo above.
I’ve been weeding and preparing the soil for the vegetable (not pictured) and cut flower gardens (below) this week. It’s been a gym replacement and a healthy dose of fresh air!
Last weeks issue highlighted the best flowers for a cut flower garden. Go read it if you missed it!
Progress on my cut flower garden. Weeded underneath the paths before placing straw. Still need to wee the beds and amend the soil.
More weeding of Julie’s (Mother in Law’s) front garden bed.

For the raffle, I think it will be a monthly feature. This means I will announce the next Raffle in May with Founders being eligible to participate. Perhaps I’ll find a nice reward in Japan next month for the raffle. (●'◡'●)

I’ve been enjoying this new Hori Hori I picked up after mine disappeared into the void. Figured I would share it here in case yours is also buried in a compost bin somewhere.
