    We apologize for being gone so long. Mother Nature has conspired against us for April. Check out the video to see how!

    Your lilacs are blooming! We don’t have leaves on anything here yet. Good news about the asparagus.
    The wind has been just crazy here too.
    Take care.

      The lilacs are like sweet perfume! We brought some in for my Mother and she loved them! Enough of the wind!! Cheers Annette!

    Ugh hate you’re having the winds. They’ve been awful here knocking down trees. Filming in the wind is tough. That’s great about the asparagus! Ours is just poking through now. Can’t wait to see you grow! Cheers!

      I bet you can't wait for the asparagus to get up. It's been so nice. We're having my Mom over for dinner (with asparagus of course!). Have a great weekend Lisa!

    It has been so windy. I didn’t realize it was the windiest. I have a few things plants. My carrots and peas are up. My leeks did nothing last year so I left them in the garden now they are up and beautiful. Take care guys.

      the lilacs are finally blooming and it's like sweet perfume! We pickle some of the extra asparagus. Some we'll add some spice also. Spicy pickled asparagus, with a Bloody Mary, is really good! Cheers Rhonda!!

    We have the most rain this month in years- making it hard for things to grow well as it's too much wetness. weather is weird all over the globe.
