My Square Spiral garden did not produce like I hoped it would this year; plants got eaten or grew poorly. So I know I need to get my soil tested. Still, many flowering plants (wild and domestic) flourished and fed LOTS of pollinators. So our success this year has been for bees and butterflies, including the swallowtail and monarch. Hope to see gulf fritillaries soon.

The Great Seeding was successful. I used up nearly every seed in my seed storage box. Some seed packets were 5 years old! Most were from last year or this year. Dill, lettuce, runner beans, arugula, okra, fennel, flax, zinnia and asparagus all coming up!

Spring is well established but then along comes a late cold front, threatening tender growth. I have not planted annuals, but this cold threatens perennials, too. In other news, I transplanted beautiful coral columbine growing in the woodland trails, to a flowerbed next to the trail.

Winter Storm Uni dropped 2 inches of ice and then 6 to 8 inches of snow on us. We have been stuck at home for 6 days, enjoying the winter wonderland from the safety of home, our power stayed on and water pipes kept intact.
