First Wild flowers, first transplants

I only work on Saturdays this time of year if I can’t help it. I have too many enjoyable things to do in the garden. Most of my seedlings ( except for tomatoes) are in my cold frames, covered with remay fabric, or in the raised beds covered With greenhouse plastic. But these activities had to wait till after a four-hour “shoot” was completed.

Getting home at noon, I first took a tour of my small woodland garden and noticed that two trilliums were up, the trout lily was about to bloom, and the lovely sanguinaria (bloodroot) was starting to bloom. Despite the recent snowstorm, spring really was here.

To round out the afternoon, I transplanted the first sugar snap peas into the raised bed they’ll grow in and then covered them with remay to protect them from any chill.

Perhaps tomorrow, the cherries and peaches tree will bloom.
