These days, we are poking around in the Straw to see what is coming up in the Garden. This bed (surrounded by sticks) is 1 of our 2 Garlic Beds. Sure enough, the tippy tops of the Garlic Leaves are beginning to show through. We have found many Plants which seemed to have survived the Winter, so far: Oregano, Thyme, Peppermint and Spearmint (no surprise), Pansies, Lavender (Yea!), Chives, and more. The Plants lay close to the ground as it is way too early to extend too far out.
In the photo below, we take a peek at the Strawberries. Note that Richard has just come from the Chicken House and has an Egg in his hand. As we muse over the Strawberries, we decide that we need to remove their Straw Mulch Blanket soon.
Seeing all this Greenery tentatively poking up for the Spring is like reunions with Old Friends. We know the Plants may seem small at this stage, but they are over some pretty vigorous Roots which are awaiting the perfect time to unfurl Greenery above.
