| Perennial herbs and flowers sprouting! |
April is such an exciting month in the garden. Teased with days in the mid 70's and sunny, followed by a week of cold rain, and chilly slug-filled nights.
But the garden comes alive in April... Most perennials and seeds that over-wintered start growing in April as well. It has been really fun to see what is growing at chicken wing. There is lots of bounty already, borage, calendula, queen anne's lace, succulents, mallow, sage, and more!
We are also working hard planting seeds for the UFC... beets chard and spinach have dominated. We also planted chamomile, valerian, arugula and cilantro. April and may are full of seed planting followed by nail-biting over whether they will grow. It sometimes seems as though nothing is going to grow but it always seems to! Chicken wing doesn't seem to have any problem growing everything else, so I can only image how many chenopods and cucumbers will be coming out of the garden in a couple months!
