The lilacs, wisteria, roses and tulips are blooming...as are ALL of the fruit tree! The almond bloom is ending, so the bees have headed my direction! Thank you, thank you! Although we are still in the worst drought in recorded history, I am hopeful. Met with my gardening family and friends and we divided up what we will grow this season and will each share with the other...just not enough water to do it all. I will grow as much as I can, but I'm sure I will run out of water by August. There will be no sweet corn. The squash and watermelon will be grown close to the river by a friend. I'm growing the onions, potatoes, artichokes and green beans. I will have to wait until the Fall for the cole crops. Usually I grow a bit of everything and manipulate the plants' environment...can't risk doing it this year...cannot waste a drop of water. I have enough tomatoes, herbs, lettuces, chard, beets and berries for our own use and will baby them along.

Congrats on the arrival of spring!
It's always exciting to plan what will be grown-though I imagine it's difficult with the drought.
It's getting harder and harder to find Non-GMO stock. It's ridiculous.....every year more things get contaminated. I hope Monsanto rots in !@#$
I've been looking forever for the sugar beets....gonna' save all of the seed...would like to grow a few acres.
I love the packaging as well! Thinking of planting sweet corn this year -- it's been awhile!
Beautiful seed packages. It's really nice to follow the progress of your garden. Happy gardening.
Endah - Indonesia
