This year [2024] we are about 3w early so we can talk about the things in the yard that are blooming or otherwise popping out.

  • the smaller of the plum trees is completely covered in white blooms. It’s so early and we are having mid-20s F temperatures, which it may or may not survive
  • the honeyberries (haskap) have little yellow blooms and I don’t know if they’re self-fertile, but they are pretty but small blooms as you expect from honeysuckle family
  • daffodils are everywhere
  • hyacinth are everywhere
  • crocus are everywhere
  • obedient plant and sochan are pushing up in the soil
  • I haven’t seen it alive yet but maybe i did - the Kankakee mallow which I am very excited aboot
  • some of the elderberry has flowers
  • garlic and elephant garlic is off the hook
  • chamomille is going very well
  • skirret looks like it is popping up
  • a lot of the seeded radishes are sprouted
  • some of the kale has come back
  • some of the lettuce is up
  • asparagus is popping in a couple of the 3 spots we have it
  • the sea berries have really come back this year early, already ready for tea
  • seeing some green in the hyssop and some of the carex now, the bluestem is still pretty quiet :(
