This past weekend was a beautiful weekend in Vermont. It would have been a great weekend to be outside working in the garden getting all those outside projects started. However my husband and I were in PA visiting our son who is attending Grove City College. For some reason the school holds their Parent’s Weekend two weeks before the end of classes. It was a fun weekend; it’s always good to spend time with our son.
Since his college is a nine-hour drive from Vermont we decided to take two days for the drive out and we found a fabulous Bed & Breakfast called Onanda by the Lake where we spent the night.
Our hostess Linda spoiled us, not only were the accommodations absolutely perfect the breakfast she served us was superb.
When we attend our son’s graduation next year I think we’re going to have to go back!
I did manage to get some work done outside before the rains came this week. As I’ve said before spring is very slow in coming to Vermont.
My rhubarb is almost ready to pick.
The daffodils are still blooming everywhere and my bleeding heart is finally blooming.
The creeping phlox is in full bloom and is creeping between every rock.
The lettuce I planted several weeks ago is making an appearance.
I had started some lettuce inside from seed and it grew much faster than I thought it would. It really needed transplanting so I planted it in a very large pot and placed it in front of our sliding door. It has done so well and I think we’ll actually be eating it before I can move it to the garden. I’m thinking that next winter I’m going to grow lettuce inside during the long winter. Imagine fresh greens from the living room!
Hope you enjoyed your glimpse of the spring progress. Hopefully next week I’ll have made a little more progress in the garden!
