…and signs of spring
Fresh, crunchy home-grown asparagus! There’s something special about that first harvest - especially when you’re eating it within 30 minutes from it being picked.

While harvesting the asparagus after school Wednesday other sure signs of spring were a welcome sight.

Look close at that last picture – besides the sedum, violets, and coreopsis you can see the first blossom on one of the strawberry plants – it's quite promising as long as the rabbits don’t take over!
Now just give me warmer, drier weather consistently. ~~K
Do you know what kind of tree the purple one is?
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing them and I think they are so pretty!
Your asparagus looks great!
It’s called a redbud tree even though its flowers are purple.
