'Tis spring

I saw snowdrops!

Almost haiku

Out
Ball hits Smith low on the pads.
The fielding side appeals in unison.
The Umpire raises the dreaded finger.

*A tribute to the Cricket World Cup. (I didn't write it, but it sounds good.)

Don't forsake me oh my darling...

So I repotted the three pop bottles of tomatoes last night. I felt bad leaving some of the seedlings behind and ended up with 64 seedlings in the deep root trays. Some people can't leave baby animals alone. I can't forsake seedlings.

1 inch of mud, 4 feet of frozen tundra

Wandered around the yard on Sunday. Most of the snow had melted off by that point, but drainage was not happening. My poor alliums are drownded as my grandmother would say. A few of the bunching onions popped free at some point since their decaying carcasses were staring at me from the tide pool of dead vegetation that is my veggie garden. However, the garlic is valiantly attempting to sprout.

The rabbits devoured my Symphoricarpos completely, girdled my little oak sapling and chewed off the tips of my tulips. I really hate rabbits right now.

Peppers, parsley, watercress and more leeks were sown last Wednesday.
The tomatoes need to be repotted soon. They've all come up a treat. I'm just growing three paste types this time since I wasn't impressed by the Principe Borgheses I grew last year, and the currant tomatoes were more work that I want to futz with.

I planted out the crocuses and narcissi I missed last fall.

In the handywoman corner, I nailed a piece of fascia back on the garage where it belongs. The morons that originally put it up didn't install it correctly so it will probably come off again.
