The gardens are alive!

 It's spring and our gardens are brimming with life and new growth. Row crops in the AP orchard are coming up.           Carrots ->

 <--  "Purple Plum" Radishes

 "Black Spanish" radishes    ---->
(more than I'd care to eat)

and spring onions (mostly for next year)

 A happy looking frog in the lounge garden. Must have eaten a lot things in the garden that would have eaten our food. A good friend to have and a sign of garden health.

 Lettuce seedlings coming up in a seed bed in the seed garden. These ones are "Butterhead".

 The nursery is starting to fill.

 Lisa's pot of pansies.

 Snow peas ("Roi de Carouby" - my favorite) coming up in the kitchen garden. The quendas didn't find these ones.

 Some things are flowering already in the seed garden. Broccoli, Chinese mustard and Alexanders.

These Dutch Purple-podded peas are looking OK. Definitely better than last year in the drought. I think it's going to be a good season.
