My Garden: It’s April

Spring is very slow in coming to Vermont, especially for those of us who live close to the mountains. It has been a good maple-sugaring season but the season is nearing the end.

The chickens are enjoying their time out of the coop and finding ground that is snow free! Since we lost a chicken recently to a hawk they are much more cautious when they are free ranging.

My raised beds are finally peaking through the snow.

There are even signs of the daffodils. It won’t be long before things start turning green on the home front!
