Hello! And thanks for stopping by. What a pleasure it was to see some sun early today!
My February cleanup continues. Today's chore was pruning the raspberry bushes. The canes of the bush produce berries only once, but the plant produces next year's canes simultaneously as the growing season proceeds. The mound of debris on the ground is the pile of last year's dead canes. This patch of six plants produced 9 1/2 pounds of deliciously sweet berries last year!
Flocks of geese have been moving north over Lancaster during the week...another sure sign of spring. This group is moving a little toward the west as well, probably headed for lunch on the Susquehanna River flats.
Follow-up: With sun coming through the windows for the first time this week, I moved the sprout jars into the sun to give them a boost on getting green.
The "Ancient Eastern" blend in the green capped jar is growing nicely. It should be ready in another day or two.
The yellow capped jar is alfalfa. This jar has three tablespoons of seed. The 2 tbs. jar lasted less time than I had figured.
Time to get back outside, soak up some vitamin D and do more garden prep. I'll be back soon with those indoor winter garden ideas I mentioned a few days ago.
