This Way To Spring




Early tomatoes and peppers have been planted in flats, and the early greens have been transplanted into cell paks to go out soon. Peas are up. Tomorrow it's supposed to snow again. Sigh.


It's also time to work on my succulents. We sell them at plant sales in April and May. They are called sempervivums or hens and chicks, and sedums. Everyone's grandma used to grow them in pots beside the door or around the mailbox. They are the ideal pot plant, hardy enough to stay outside all winter in their pots, snow, freezing cold and all. I'll be writing a lot more about them in the coming weeks. I'm potting them up by the hundreds in our pavilion.
