That taste of spring over the weekend really got me longing to get gardening! And I was seeing some signs of spring even before that – my daffodils were starting to stick their heads up last week, right before the snow covered them up. No fear, though. They’ll be back poking their heads up again soon. The daffodil is, after all, the “official” flower of March. And I have hope that this spring is going to be a much better one than last year’s. We never really seemed to get spring last year, which made getting my garden going a bit of a challenge. I think the groundhog got it right this year though, and we’re going to have an early spring. One can always hope!
We’ll be ushering in spring at the Garden Mill every Saturday this month with our annual Green Thumb Series of workshops. Join us for some fun topics with lots of tips for growing things in your garden – and cooking with some of them! Details are below, on our website, and on our Facebook page.
