This weekend we finally had some warm afternoons and took the opportunity to work in the garden.

Here is Brad working on the asparagus beds. With a little luck, we’ll be eating fresh asparagus in a few weeks.

My artichokes seem to have come through the winter nicely. We love perennials!

And we’ve been enjoying lettuce from the cold frame even with nighttime temperatures in the low 20s.

As usual, we put in two beds of garlic last fall. Until they’re ready, we’re still enjoying last year’s garlic.

And in the house, I have 30 or so tomato starts going. I’m also starting leeks inside this year. They are another crop that should last through the winter next year.
