Iris reticulata ‘Katharine Hodgkin’ emerges after my crocus and snowdrops.
I love the ethereal coloring, and that it’s an early flower after a long Maine winter.

There’s something special about the earliest flowers; the ones that bloom before the trees have leaves. They are little beacons of hope and promise.

We’ve got roots!
Plant propagation is so cool. Some of these will be used to expand my own plantings, and others will go to local folks.

My first flowers of 2025 are crocus. Although later, I saw that I also had a single snowdrop.
After the long Maine winter, it’s encouraging to see something bloom again.

Attempting to root some grape and elderberry cuttings in water. My hope is that I will have enough success to expand my own plantings AND share some with folks in my community.
There are “better” propagation methods, but I’m trying for what will be easiest for me.

Blue cornmeal cake made with corn we grew. Elder-blackberry jam filling from berries we grew. Lemon buttercream frosting.
A collaboration between my spouse, our kid, and I.
Thankful for tastes of last season’s garden while it’s still too soon to plant the next.
