What did you do in the garden today?

Well I'll be.... The 3rd and final peony that I thought had died last year just poked it's head out of the dirt!

Sweet Basil plants were getting some funky shaped leaves, so I up-potted them today. Also planted the Turkey Craw beans, by the time they sprout and need trellising hopefully it will be warm enough to move them outside.

My chives and my tarragon are peeking out of the soil, I can’t tell if the sage made it or not.

I’m glad he mentioned Espoma is one of the safe brands. That’s what I have been using since I started gardening on this property.

I've used Espoma brand additives on my fruit trees and bushes, and I think it has made a big difference.

Today I filled some pots with home made potting soil in the green house. I watered them and put some clear totes over them to help them warm up. The plan is to put seeds in pots by April First.

Wild plum blossoms smell just heavenly. I'll just offer that.

Bradford pear blossoms stink.

Wild plums form thickets. Often a patch are clones of one tree spread by root suckers. I have grafted to wild plums in the past. The root suckers are hard to manage around grafted trees.
