As a gardener, April has been the most challenging, frustrating and puzzling month so far this year. I have enjoyed it immensely. There’s nothing more “in the moment” and strangely invigorating than carting 164 tomato plants to safety amidst gail-force winds and snow, or protecting 260 lettuce seedlings with 16 sets of cotton sheets kindly donated by a fellow gardener.
I remain in debt and awe to the remarkable recovery witnessed in plants and the kindness of community in helping to grow food, plain and simple. Looking forward to Beltane and May’s gentle (non-freezing) breezes.
Here’s to the merry month of May!
what an amazing feat, and here’s to a beautiful may
Thank you, Beth! Hope your May was lovely, too.
It was, thank you)
I am in awe of you and the tulip both! I don’t know what the proper greeting is for Beltane, but I wish you it.
Thank you, Maureen! Just now catching up after having no internet for three weeks at our house.
