All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Potting continues here; there are almost eighty elderberries hanging out in our front yard right now in addition to the others (happy to share what the others are if anyone is actually curious). Overnight temperatures are still a little low for some of the transplants potted up this past week and I am running out of shelf space under lights indoors.
Our gardens up front are waking up and they always fill me with joy:
What's growing on with you all?
My cherry tree is this close to bursting into bloom! It seems to be a couple weeks behind other cherry varieties in the area, and I think my yard has a bit of a chilly microclimate since I'm in a valley.
My squash and tomato seedlings are looking great, I'm excited to plant them out in a week or two. I never got around to replanting my sad brassica seedlings that got too leggy, I might just direct sow some more at this point and see how it goes.
Also just have to say thank you for posting this thread every week! It's a highlight, and I always appreciate your responses!
That's exciting! Chilly microclimates can be kind of a bummer when other folks' plants have bloomed and you're still waiting, but there's also that benefit of generally getting growth after the freezes are over.
Thank you for commenting in these threads! I adore hearing what everyone is getting up to in their gardens every week
