Lilacs in the air

It was a warm, sunny morning. The scent of lilacs is in the air and wild strawberries are blooming in the yard (no weed-and-feed for us ;). The watermelon seeds that my daughter planted last week are pushing up through the vermiculite. We have plants sunning on the front porch waiting to be planted. Everything should be in the garden this weekend. We will also begin harvesting lettuce and spinach in earnest.

Celandine and winter cress blooming around the yard and iris flower stalks appearing.

  1. Good Morning, Lilac perfume! Yummmmm. Ours are flowering now too, so maybe some of our garden timing is similar. 12"-15"tomatoes started from seed and still in 4" pots spent yesterday and last night in the homemade greenhouse which was covered with a comforter. Night temp 40.
    Watermelon seeds....I know what that girl likes!
