Last fall's plantings are doing well. My first spring 2010 planting (lettuce, snap peas, spinach, sweet peas, and carrots) are all up and looking good.

Scilla, daffodils, primroses, pink violets, star magnolia, pulmonaria (pink, coral, cobalt blue, mingled blue and pink), and single bloodroot are stunning. Garden and wild plants are two or more weeks ahead of the usual season's growth. Maple syrup production here was thwarted by the high temperatures. Most farms that usually participate in "Maple Syrup Sunday" withdrew or boiled plain water.
