True Spring

Sometime within the past 48 hours, both the FL Flame Azalea and the American Beautyberry plants started opening their leaf buds.  Looks like the flame azalea won't be blooming for another year.  At this point, it may be just getting too much shade, but I don't plan to move it.

I drilled holes in the dry-loving herb planter yesterday finally, and got the plants I have added to it.  I may have to replace the sage, unless it starts growing better.

I have a plant stand for the porch and moved the scented geraniums and the wet-loving herbs there for now.  I will re-pot the mints and probably keep them there, and get the planter for the wet-loving herbs ready soon... I have an idea for it and am waiting for some more plants to become available (basils mostly).  I also have some more Calendula seedlings waiting, plus some seeds for small sunflowers, zinnias, and marigolds. I'm not sure what will go where yet.

The seedlings are coming along.

The onions I bought are going crazy.  I will probably pull them before they make good bulbs, but they should work similar to bunching onions.  I also have a handful of bunching onions left in the raised bed that are forming blooms, so I'm keeping them around to watch.

The carrots in the middle are also growing quite quickly.

The sugar snap peas keep growing. I need to check some dates and see when they'll potentially be making pods.  I hope it doesn't get too hot for them.

Finally, the potatoes continue to grow.  They look great up top. I just hope they are making lots of potatoes, too.
