Buds on the bushes! And green in the garden. I think spring us here. Have a look!
Do you see Pania in there?
Rhubarb.
Horseradish.
The ducks LOVE their sprouts. I tuck them into their water tray and they stay fresh all day. Because the sprouts are jammed in there they can yank at them and pull pieces out to eat.
The asparagus is popping up too – I will show you tomorrow.
I hope you have a lovely day!
Love celi

I love the spring with all the new buds and blossoms!!! A few weeks ago I was so excited to see the 3″ high hostas peeking out ~~ and 2 days later they had absolutely disappeared ~~ those blasted deer eat all my spring flowers around here. Your rhubarb is beautiful!! I need to go out and look at mine ~~ been too sick with serious bronchitis. Darling Duckies!!
Yippee!!
Yay-eth! Hereabouts, as well.
Sprouts for the ducks! Great idea. I will have to get some going.
The green pollen is doing everyone in around here – including our cars. Kind of outfitted with a green suede look, very in vogue for this time of year! Amazing how people’s outlook on life has changed with warmth, sunshine, and bright flowers!
Thank you so much for the beautiful photo of the ducklings – definitely not the chicks I saw yesterday! Have they started to sound duck-ish, or are they still ‘peeping’?
I love that spring is finally here! I’ve been in the garden yesterday and today and it’s perfect.
Hello, c. What in heaven’s name are you feeding your rhubarb? It’s monstrous! Mine is pencil width.
The ducks and the piggies are so adorable. It’s finally spring here too, I walked to the store today, it was 17°C finally! So happy.
I must plant some horseradish 🌱
Look at that rhubarb! When I checked yesterday, ONE of my rhubarb plants had poked its way out of the ground… and the rest were still under snow. We had the most beautiful day today, though, so I’m sure this snow won’t last much longer. It’s so strange to have it be 70˚F with drifts of snow still spotted around the place!
Oh your rhubarb! I am so jealous. Mine has not even peeked out of the ground yet. 2 little plants in my city back yard. All we’ve had popping up are the crocus (lovely golden sunshine at ground level) the tulips (about 6″) and the day lilies (about 6 ” also). but the weekend of April 14 & 15 we had a rather nasty ice storm here in southwestern Ontario, so the poor things were all shivering and huddling till mid-week when it started to warm up a bit. Hope to see more things coming along in the next couple of weeks, this past weekend was totally wonderful spring weather.
Can’t wait for the asparagus – I don’t have my own, but the farm stands will have it soon I hope! My dad and I could polish off several pounds at one sitting. Mum got tired of it, but Dad and I never did. I love it raw as well.
Happy Spring everyone!

Pania? Who cares? That’s serious rhubarb!
Rhubarb seems to be making a comeback; or has it always been popular there?
Thank goodness for finally seeing the green shoots and the possibility of NO MORE SNOW!!! until maybe November or December.
I don’t see Pania. 😦 It’s like looking for Waldo. I’m glad to see you have signs of spring. We are already getting a bit of summer here in the PNW! 3 days of hot then rain. It’s all sideways but spring is so important to a farmer. I’m glad you have it finally.
Pania is on The bushes
Thanks, I’m quite nearsighted.
