That week it was sunny but cold. No rain for over a week. But the cold still was keeping most people out of gardens.
I liked there was a sand box for kids.
These green and purple plants looked like they had survived the winter, and perhaps had been picked over a bit.I would wonder if there aren't some onions or garlic under these long leaves...
These looked like small beets which had started to sprout, but left on top of the ground...very strange!
Same bed, looking at some pretty green and purple plants...not sure what they are, but pretty hardy.
I was impressed that quite a few of the beds which had had the plastic covering had some things growing in them.
I always try to capture blue flowers...and these tiny little guys were hard to see.
Are you bored yet? How about this little Asian style lantern over on its side? At least the soil has been turned recently here.
I liked this brick edging. The owners of this plot not only have prepared the soil, they've put out new plants.
I can't wait to see all the work that may be ahead...

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe weeded gardens look like someone is hard at work. I am waiting to see our forsythia blooming. It is really cold here, it still feels like winter. Take care, enjoy your day!
Good for you getting up in the dark again...I can't convince myself to do so yet.
DeleteI have just come from another blog featuring forsythia.
ReplyDeleteI dare say it was Vicki Lane's blog, which I also read. She's even got some inside to bloom early in a vase. I didn't do that this year.
Delete...I can't wait to get going in my garden.
ReplyDeleteI know...I think March is such a tease when gardeners have to wait around until spring thaw happens. We may have a frost or two, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we don't get a March snow.
DeleteYou have more than one blog? How did I miss that?
ReplyDeleteThe 3 photos on the right column lead to 3 of them, and I guess that makes 4 in all. I only add to the art blog sporadically. I try to keep up with the one on my ancestors, but I'm getting a bit overwhelmed right now. new phone, new computer, new printer...a lot for me to deal with.
DeleteThose community gardens are a wonderful opportunity for people who live in apartments to connect with the soil and grow their own produce. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI first ran into them while a student at the U of Florida...and had 2 plots one year, one in the organic plots, and one that was actually closer to my apartment which wasn't organic. I didn't keep them both up the whole summer though. But I did enjoy visiting and seeing some interesting things being grown by other students, especially the foreign ones who grew exotic things.
DeleteThese are ready for spring.
ReplyDeleteGetting there!
DeleteBarbara, we used to have a community garden plot when we lived in Brooklyn, NY. Your photos reminded me of all those years. We enjoyed it very much, except one year when there was a bad beetle infestation that killed everyone's vegetables and flowers. I can't garden much here as there are too many critters that would come and eat everything. I even have to have some of my shrubs enclosed in chicken wire to prevent the deer from eating them down to the ground.
ReplyDeleteThere have been various diseases here which I've heard include a tomato blight. I haven't been growing anything except in pots, so I don't keep up with that. I like shopping at the Tail Gate market in the summer and buying local produce.
DeleteIn a little time, those gardens will be thriving.
ReplyDeletePretty soon. I haven't been over there this week, so don't know the current status.
