Mid March and we are experiencing spring. The past week has been warm enough to eat lunch on the terrace. Days are in the upper 60's/70 degrees. We have continued to clean up the garden and have pruned many of the trees. The plum trees and forsythia are in full bloom and the apple and pear trees are very close to flowering.
Saturday the first green asparagus appeared for sale at the market, from our favorite bio veggie producteur. It gave us a reason to celebrate and was delicious with grilled duck breast.
We planted the spring garden on the 1st of March and the shallots and peas are beginning to sprout. The heirloom tomato seeds we started indoors too are growing well. And thanks to RH ferrying seeds to us, we will have jalapenos this summer. There are worse places to be.
