It’s been an unusual spring weather wise, — at least unusual relief from the past 5 years of drought. The wild plants are going crazy and the hills are as green as I have ever seen them.
The warm season plants aren’t very happy. Things like tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, moringa, longevity spinach, etc. We haven’t been particularly cold, but certainly have lacked warmth. But lots of wonderful moisture for the cool season crops. I love not watering the garden!
We’re just barely past the equinox, so there is still so much potential for growing food. My favorite time of year!
New classes are up. Happy Spring!
