Blackberry winter 2016

New sprouts

Look who's awake! Corn, beans, and cucumbers are up and running a little early this year.

...Just in time for blackberry winter to come calling. Will a 43-degree forecast turn into a light freeze that nips all and sundry? I'd like to say no, but we'll still spend the day covering everything up anyway.

Ah! I can't wait to get to the point of corn and other warm weather plants. I'm celebrating a few germinating peas and turnip, and babying brassicas I shouldn't have planted three weeks ago but did anyway. Nice to see warm stuff going on!
