This week, warmer temperatures and a bit of sunshine woke my chives:
And also woke someone else...
I put Mr. Worm back to bed and added some lettuce seeds with a few encouraging words in the hopes that they will be happy in the newly thawed earth. Lettuces and many other leafy greens, radishes & peas seem to do really well for me when planted in early Spring. I garden in raised beds because they warm earlier and I'm always so eager to plant anything at all by this time of year. The cold weather crops are a Winter-weary girl's best friend!
Lunch today, was courtesy of those early Spring greens, Chive and Chickweed and also courtesy of my friend's chickens who provided eggs - fresh potato salad. The only downside is that there were no more potatoes from last year's crop, so store-bought potatoes were begrudgingly used. It tasted like Spring and Summer - green and fresh.
I hope that Winter is loosening its hold on you and that you find a bit of Spring, wherever you are.

This post has me itching to get in the garden...
George and I were just talking about getting out there to work in the garden this weekend! The weather goes from the 80's to the 40's over night. I am so looking forward to summer, this cold really seems to hurt my body these days. Wishing you a warm weather week Jen!
(((HUGS)))
tooootally on your wavelength. planting seeds because i am HUNGRY for the really fresh produce. LOL
Spring can't come soon enough...I'm so eager to get into the garden too, though I'll just have to be content thumbing through my garden catalogs for a couple more weeks. Good luck with your seeds.
I thought it was beginning to feel like Spring a wee bit, but then is snowed... @_@ Did you get some too? Eek... I woke up this morning, looked out the window and was rather startled. ^-^
Ah well. It was a gorgeous day today, despite the chilly temperature.
Looking forward to your garden posts! =D
XOXO
