The hellebore patch is a welcome sight! Also known as the Lenten Rose, they are perennials and the true first flower of spring! They thrive under the shade of a tree and will last for years.

Fall planted hardy annuals are looking good after a cold winter under covered low tunnels. By mid-May they will produce beautiful spring blooms!

To get the beds ready for planting now, we ordered a huge load of compost from Veteran’s Compost in Aberdeen, Maryland. Using buckets to transport and lightly top dress the beds. No tilling is needed.

One type of flower that can be planted early, way before the last frost are Field Peas for cover crop and Sweet Pea seedlings, they like it chilly and need a period of cold to establish strong roots.
