Vineyard Gardener
I’m not a big fan of hot and humid weather especially when it comes so quickly after cold and rainy.
There is quite a bit of complaining about the weather lately. It does seem that we have had plenty of rain.
My vegetable garden has completely gotten away from me. Last fall I planted winter rye in several beds.
It is rather remarkable that we have so many different plant zones on our tiny piece of land.
I’m the opposite of most people. I do not mind cool, wet days spent in a garden.
I’m not one to complain about the chilly, cloudy weather. It gives me less anxiety about all the tasks at hand.
I’ve been working outside like a crazy person and most mornings my arms and legs do not work.
It is my custom, as I drive to and fro, to jot down observations.
It’s been difficult knowing how to dress. It seems most of the day is spent putting on and/or taking off layers of clothing.
It is amazing how quickly a couple of nice days can bring us into full-on spring. Forsythia is blooming everywhere.
It’s finally happened. It has rained enough to put some water into Whiting’s Pond.
Here it is, the end of March and I made my first trip to the nursery for some just-arrived pansies.
