It's plant sale week where we are! Our library and town food bank are both running plant and bake sale fundraisers this weekend. I've potted up a bunch of native perennials as donations for each, and will be spending my Saturday helping to run the library plant sale.

What's growing on with you all?

Cucumbers and tomatoes are getting nicely established, and the corn is starting to come up in the 3 sister mounds. I spotted the first snap pea flower today. Love this time of year!

I also recently tried spicebush tea for the first time, which was amazing - I will be thoroughly enjoying the 5 or so bushes I found in the woods out back!

That's awesome! We've been having nights dipping into the mid 30's (Fahrenheit) and I am hoping some things recover or I'll have a few beds behind.
