I have a tiny resentment about the beautiful weather. Wait, let me explain.

We have had a series of wonderful days, and for February even. I have been doing a bit of heavy work to prepare this aging body for spring.

What a week. Last Sunday we woke up to below zero and by Tuesday it was almost 60 degrees and I had crocuses blooming all over the place.

From Garrison Keillor: “Cheer up. Make yourself useful. Mind your manners. Avoid self pity.”

It is a bit challenging to come up with gardening comments after a couple of major blizzards. Bear with me.

This time of year a fresh strawberry usually travels thousands of miles to Island grocery stores. But at Island Grown Initiative’s Farm Hub, fresh fruit and greens thrive all year long.
