Finally, the first crocuses of the season. My deck garden is filled with dozens and dozens of bright yellow snow crocus. Lots of other bulbs have inches of foliage showing, so it won't be long until the crocuses are joined by other spring beauties. There are lots of reports of robins in the area, although I have not seen any myself yet.

My days are filled to overflowing with seeding, transplanting, and opening boxes in the shop. We need more sunny days to make the seedlings grow more quickly, and I have lots of outdoor work to do, too. This is just a busy, busy time of year. It will soon be St. Patrick's day, and time to plant peas and potatoes! I've already started a few salad crops indoors, and hope to set up a coldframe, and seed more in there over the weekend. I need more hands!
