nascent blooms...and a frost advisory

the hard red spring, einkorn, emmer, and dwarf syrian wheat are all developing their third leaves...

the small stand of winter rye has reached about six inches in height...

there are seventy-eight ramps up in the bed...

in assorted sizes, from the smallest plant that has sprung up from seed to a few that are on their third season and will, hopefully, flower later in the summer...

the egyptian walking onions are booming along this late april...

in the meantime the new york import wild strawberries are evincing good new growth...and...

little white blooms...so strawberry season has begun and it would seem at least some of the plants' energy will be geared towards berry production as well as the inevitable daughter plants...there is a frost advisory out for tonight...the wheat and ramps will be fine...and even though the grower i purchased the new york imports from told me they were "tough little plants" i have covered the ones working on blooms with five gallon buckets for the night...not taking chances.
