Bregmata

The mosquitoes come out about a week before planting begins in earnest at our place. Just so you can see what’s coming ahead, here’s a few photos I took this afternoon.
Jacob’s Cattle lying on the dining room table waiting to be planted.
One of my potatoes started from seed (!) last year — a two year investment before you know if you’ve got something useful.
Jerusalem Artichokes — my first time, it seems there were already some growing in that patch.
The garlic is healthy as usual.
For the first time in seven years, we have a blossom coming out on an apple tree in our “orchard.” Yeah, it’s only two trees for now, but I mean to plant one for each of us and I hope to have a few more years until I’m forced to plant more (although planting sooner is better than later, they don’t all have to be a memorial). Hopefully some day they’ll look more like this, a wild apple at the edge of the bush.
