You make me feel like spring has sprung...

Apologies for the radio silence -- non-homesteading stuff crept into our lives this week. Also, I'm not sure what happened to the text of the seed catalogs post. I assure you it was fantastic; I'll try to recreate it.


Pictured: Signs of Spring


We found a spare half hour to stop at a nursery and buy a few things: Alpine strawberries, tarragon, rhubarb, and an Italian Prune plum tree. Not pictured: rosemary (it can't sit outside yet, so it's hanging out in a windowsill). We have several more fruit trees on the way: two cherries (Hartland and Montmorency), two apples (Honey Crisp and Yellow Transparent), and a Green Gage plum. We still have pears to buy, and maybe a Haralson apple.

The weather has been fantastic the last few days, getting into the 70s and sunny, sunny, sunny. The winter wheat is coming up in fields all around us; it looks like a green haze on the ground. Spring is here!
