Finding survivors

Made it to 40 today. Finally warm enough to be out without a jacket. I mean, next week it will be back to 20's but for now I ventured to the garden to see how things wintered over.

I found survivors, peeping out. Sort of like the groundhog. Is it time yet? Can I grow?

Do you see the green, right in the center? That's garlic. Plant bulbs in fall. It's sprouting. :)

The garlic bed, that for the last 3 years has been the onion bed. I found about 6 more sprouting garlic just at a glance.

The wild onions, which have been chewed on by bunnies.

And the celery, which is clearly growing indoors.

A few more days and I'll pull out my little indoor greenhouse and start tomato seedlings. It's almost time!

    1. I would love a mini green house! The garlic is still doing well. There is one sprout growing right out of a mound of snow. I covered them with a thick pile of leaves and an upside down sled. We'll see how they do.
