This morning’s brunch - an omelette with sundried tomatoes plus homegrown asparagus, broccoli raab, and chives. Three (3) out of 5 ingredients are homegrown. In the past, I’ve made my own dehydrated tomatoes, but not last year. I try to eat locally whenever possible.

Store-bought cloche in rear vs homemade critter cage in front. Which will work best for protecting the emerging rhubarb? Last year some animal had a field day digging up the newly planted rhubarb. I didn’t think the front one would survive, but it did. Hopefully, these will get the job done.

More signs of spring, the rhubarb is sprouting, the Eastern columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) leaves are greening, and the elderberry bushes are breaking dormancy. More than half of the garden contains perennials.

Signs of spring, (clockwise) the HeShiKo Welsh onions, chives, and saffron crocus are growing.

Time to start hardening off the lettuce and marigolds. That way, when the outside temps allow, I can use the free sunlight instead of the non-free grow lights.
