Good morning, and the curtain rises.
Welcome to Saturday Morning Garden Blogging.
Denver's weather has continued to yoyo — Monday the high was 64°; Tuesday it was 27°, with an single-digit lows, Thursday was 61°, and yesterday 58° — and for the weekend we have another blast of cold, and a few more spits of snow.
Not that I'm complaining — the regular spits of snow have kept everything wonderfully moist for a change, and at least we're escaping the worst of the polar vortex that is freezing you all back east.
The only problem I have with our weekly itty-bitty storms is that I haven't had a chance to start the spring clean up: the emerging spring bulbs are having to fight their way through the garden debris we leave in place as natural mulch.
And I need to order a few seeds before it comes time to plant the veggie patch: I thought I had a couple of packs of snap peas left over from last year, but I can't find them. Oh well — I'd be more worried about it, but planting the veggie patch will likely be delayed this year, as the Mister is intent on putting in a new garden shed. I told him the latest it has to be done is the end of March — which means I'm at least a month away from planting snap peas.
I am going to start some brassicas and warm weather crops on this cold and snowy weekend… and dream of the warmth to come.
That's what's happening here. What's going on in your gardens?
