Friends,

I hope you are well! We are buttoning up here for a big snowstorm, and I must remind myself that March and April are our snowiest months, but those storms bring great moisture. So all is well!

I have been busy in the greenhouse getting all kinds of seeds started. It's such fun to see those little baby plants emerge, and every day I check to see who is the newest arrival!

And even outside there are distinct signs of spring including my first blooms! Iris reticulata wins the race — and look at that gorgeous purple!

If you are looking to start some seeds, I have a new seed starting video to give you my favorite mix recipe as well as some tips, too. So I hope you’ll check that out!

And don’t forget the March Checklist, too:

If you are gardening, don’t forget: peat-free is best! Here’s my guide to Peat-free gardening — and a reminder of why destroying peat bogs isn’t a necessary part of gardening.

Wishing you all the best as spring arrives! Be sure to let me know if you are doing the Spring Grow Along — and it’s not too late to join, too!

Cheers!
Angela
