It's Spring Planting Day

Just two weeks ago the temps were almost down to 0 deg C at night so we held off the official planting day until today when we find ourselves in the middle of a summer-like heat wave. Some of the gardens have already been planted but many were started today. We will do a photoshoot in a few weeks when everything is in full bloom. You can click on photos to enlarge them.
