Signs of things to come

 I saw our first strawberry flower this week.   Like the fig tree in the Gospels that didn't bear fruit, we are giving this patch one more year to prove itself, or out comes the rototiller!

Our small blueberry bushes have faced much adversity, (drought and grazing deer) so we don't expect to be bearing loads of fruit for a few years yet, but I did spy a few small flowers on the earliest of the three varieties.








We had a real frost last night, enough to freeze water in puddles, but not enough to harm hardy plants so it would seem.  The lettuce I transplanted from bedding plants didn't seem to mind a bit.
