Today is the first day of Spring. Mother Nature has placated our fears of a never ending Winter, and although there were chilly temperatures and a frost last night, today is absolutely glorious.
My daughter has been photographing crimson rosellas in the back yard. I have been enjoying the sun and Spring air while hanging out the washing. I'm really looking forward to spending some lazy days gardening in the weeks ahead.
The garden centers are selling frost sensitive plants already, but they still need to be protected from the cold temperatures. We have basil and tomato seedling growing on the window sill inside and other seedlings growing in the greenhouse. It's exciting to see their growth, but I have to remember not to get ahead of myself and plant them out too soon.
Gardening in a global environment is interesting. We're getting ready for fall and closing down the gardens while you are just getting started. It will be comforting to hear about your gardening successes as we deal with the cold and snow and look forward to our next gardening season.
