Spring is here and with that comes Mother Natures game of tease! One beautiful day of summer like temps that get you itching for preparing the garden and flower pots then a week of cool temps and rain that would send any tomato plant heading right back to the store it came from. My garden is pretty sparse this year since the temperatures at night get very cool still, I'm afraid if I plant anything it will just die from being too cold with not enough sun. The sturdy rhubarb is up and pretty proud looking but then again it would take a nuclear event to wipe that stuff out! The strawberry plants have flowers on them to signal they will bear fruit this summer. The chives came back from last year which I was surprised that they were perennial. A new rosemary plant adorns my front door as does some seriously wimpy looking basil. I buy plant after plant of that stuff and never get it to keep. So far this spring I am on plant #3 and I'm keeping my fingers crossed but its not looking good. With all the dreary weather I headed to the library and checked out these books and will thoroughly enjoy kicking up my feet and snuggling under my lap quilt and browse through these great cookbooks. Who knows by the time they are due back at the library summer like temps might be here to stay!
