Spring is Right Around the Corner!
It may only be late March, but evidence of Spring is popping up all over New York City. Crocuses and daffodils are already flowering in Central Park and even in my backyard, which has it's own alpine micro-climate, the lilies are already out of the ground.
The pachysandra is greening up nicely. Pachysandra is one of the more stayed and steadied plants. It never seems to feel the effects of winter nor grow voraciously in summer. It's more like a turtle. Slow and steady wins the race.
This being New York City, my garden tends to collect things. Usually it's beer cans or a plastic bag. But today I found a Frisbee from the Museum of Natural History. Awesome.
The birch seems to know it's almost spring. It's hard at work preparing it's buds which will soon burst forth with this season's leaves.
I don't know if this happened recently, but I just noticed my strawberries have escaped their clay confines in search of more fertile grounds. Hopefully this portends a bountiful harvest!
I even found a strawberry plant a few feet away!
I also found a cherry tomato that got lost in the leaves last fall. I think I'll plant this fellow and see what happens.
