Great news! We finally finished planting our seedlings! Most of them are already in the greenhouse. The weather also made a dramatic turn for the better. Nearly 100 percent of the snow is gone and we have had weather in the 60s and 70s all week. The forecast is calling for temperatures in the 80s on Monday and Tuesday. Our bees are doing great and we will be adding another brood box soon to each hive. The willow pollen has appeared and break up is not so muddy this year as in past years. Depending on the forecast we may be ready to plant our carrots and beets in the ground sometime between the 1st and 5th. We also inherited several flower planters and hanging baskets made of wood and have many flowers started this year in addition to sunflowers. This year may have started cold and dreary but we persevered and I believe we are going to have a marvelous garden this season!
