Bring on the green!

It was a beautiful, sunny, 70 degree Spring day today and after almost a week of relentless winds, I was finally able to enjoy my lunch out on the back deck again.  Followed, of course, by a wandering through the garden beds to check on the early progress...

I never knew until today how much a yet-to-unfurl apple blossom resembles a rose bud.

Sugar snap and Improved Maestro garden peas coming along quite nicely.

Specks of green life everywhere in the radish, turnip, beet and chard beds.  The strawberry patch (that barely made it into the top of the picture) has sprung back to life with great vigor.  I'm hoping after having received a sufficient watering this spring that they will produce a bit better than last year.

Bumblebees out of hibernation and already fat off the nectar from the cover crop that I planted last fall.  Or those could just be weeds, not sure.

This guy was as big as the end of my thumb

Mid-flight!
