The Dirt Calls and I Must Answer!

Well, right after whining about needing warm days so I could tackle the cilantro...we got it!

It hit 70-something on Tuesday and I raced home after work to put in an hour before the sun set.

Glorious!


Oh to be on hands and knees digging in the dirt again, sun shining down. Magical.


The wildflower border is looking just peachy now with tufts of [non-cilantro or weed] green popping up!

Before:                                                            After:



 Now you can see the bulbs popping!



Wednesday we broke a record by hitting 83!!
So I sneaked in a bit more weeding as well. 
I also realized that I should have saved and re-planted some of the cilantro seedlings and put them in the edible garden. DOH!
Aaaaand I should not have just thrown them on the top of the compost pile before drying them out. DOOOOOH!  Oh well; at least they're still resting on a bunch of leaves, so can dry out before I turn the compost.    ("Please no millions of reproduced compost seedlings, please!!")

Now we're back to colder and rainy, but I'm feeling great about that taste of spring and what I accomplished!

In fact, maybe I'll get myself a cake like this 😁:
