We had the first real hints of springtime on the island when we were at home this week. They are called blooms and the promise of blooms!
The hyacinths were mostly finished when we got home. But, their lovely smell still filled our house with cut ones and we admired the rest.
The little salad garden I planted on our last time at home has come up well. There are watermelon radishes, Tom Thumb lettuces, Nantes carrots, beets, mesculun lettuces, Bibb lettuces, Swiss chard, and Parisian round carrots.
The daffodils are just beginning to pop out. They will be in full bloom when we get home from this trip. We picked a bunch for Leslie at Books to be Red since they are her favorite flowers and we will not be home to enjoy them.
The perennials look great as they come back to life and all the annuals I had started under lights got set out. We look forward to our next trip home as this is the time things really SPRING to life!
