Wednesday in the Garden

Baby Beets

We’re all anticipating spring.  The Japanese Magnolias at the top of the hill are budding out and we can just feel the roots of perennials stretching as they awaken from their winter sleep.  But there are plenty of hardy plants in our garden that have thrived through the winter.  They are lovely to look at on a sunny Wednesday morning.
