The first greens of spring.

We are just a few days away. With that in mind, I went out weeding in three sisters garden and took some pictures of the kale, spinach and peas growing in one of the keyhole gardens.
Newly planted Apache and Arapaho variety blackberry bushes to replace the bush the dogs chewed to the ground.

First corn sprouts of spring.



Spinach on the inside of the arc, pea plants in the middle and kale on the outside.



View of the whole garden.
Not much of the corn has made it about ground yet, and it went into the ground two weeks ago. None of the squash plants have emerged either, nor has the okra. I planted them early this year because we had such a mild winter. Also, Senator Inhofe brought a snowball onto the floor of the US Senate as proof that global warming isn't happening. I thought that would be a good barometer for how soon spring would arrive, and the temps and rain have not disappointed.
