Leeks, Rosemary, Geraniums and Begonias

Just started my Leeks and Rosemary on Monday. Repotted my Geraniums, already gettin' big and lookin' good. Lisianthus comin' up. Still no word from the Begonias, but a couple of my Arums are sprouting. None of the Fringetrees have come up yet. Tons of flats of Green Onions.

Gonna have a hard time fitting all those Green Onions (Gronions, as I call 'em) in the unheated greenhouse with all of the Cabbage and Broccoli.
Also in the greenhouse are Curly Willow, Agapanthus, Paw Paw trees, Rosemary, and Green Onions. I'm trying to winter sow Garden Phlox and Foxglove, but that never seems to work for me.

Pruned ornamental and fruit trees like crazy all this and last week. Curly Willow, Redbud, Cornelian Cherry, a Yellow Cherry, Pears, and Apples. I'm done, now that the moon is getting full again. I'll fertilize and sheet mulch them later in the Spring.

Harvesting Beets, Red Giant Mustard, Thick-Stemmed Mustard, Kale, and Tat Soi from under row cover. Even Lettuce is sprouting and growing. I have a few plants of Parsley and Cilantro under cold frames, but the whole rows are alive with no protection at all!

Working on getting Tunis Sheep for next year, possibly females with an eye towards breeding
them...ahhh dreaming about the growing season...

Much Love
Coop
