Well, it has been a long, cold winter, but we stayed cozy and busy in the warm farmhouse and are very grateful for the beauty of spring! Thought we'd share some with y'all! Herb, Burdock, breaking through the warm earth. Yarrow, just beginning. A wonderful homestead herb. These make the first fragrant bouquet of the year. "Black Gold" from our worm bin. Worm castings make great amendment for lettuce. Sprinkle around the plant. Straw or hay mulch helps keep the moisture in. Spinach LOVES water! So water, water, water in well drained soil. Bluebell about to bloom. We found these in the woods near the river. Dandelion's yellow petals can be sprinkled on your salads- colorful and nutricious! "Johnny Jump-Up's" are everywhere in our garden. These too can be sprinkled on your spring salad. Hope you will take the time this spring to stop and smell {and eat} the beautiful and edible flowers!
