The dahlia tubers have all survived winter in the attic and have started sprouting. What to do given it isn’t April yet. So pot them up. Fingers crossed that I can get them outside in early May.


First arrival of 2026!

OMG a touch of spring weather. Had to start something. A new batch of basil micro greens.

A few sure signs of spring. The hazelnut buds are just starting to swell. Getting days just above zero. Still lots of snow.

The amaryllis bulbs are taking turns and producing second flower stalks. It has been non stop for a month! This week’s beauty.





Quick update. Pipes thawed!
