Guest, Jon- Many people used raised beds here for their vegetables.
Some growers with deeper pockets use cedar rather than scaffolding. It lasts a long time.

The ground is finally thawing- blooming are pasque flowers (anemone), wild Anatolian tulips, one of those little blue bulb plants (my mind is absent today), and everybodys' favorite, the dandelion.
Nanking cherry budding (very small fruits, but good for jelly). They seed all over so seedlings have to be removed.
