spring is in the air

The last few days have been absolutely beautiful ranging from the high fifties to near 70 today. Even the nights are staying mild and while I am not going to complain it will likely ruin the blueberry and peach harvest this season. We have had plenty of cold already for both to be blossoming. If it freezes hard again it will be a dismal year for Ga peach producers.

Today I putzed around in some of the garden beds; cleaning them up and readying them for planting. Much of what was planted last fall is still growing and it looks pretty darn good considering the winter we have had. Manthing worked on repairs to the sheds and chicken coop.

All of the seeds that I planted a couple weeks ago are sprouted and growing nicely. The burley tobacco and the zucchini were the last to poke their heads through the soil. They both took almost a week longer than all of the other seeds I started. As soon as the weather breaks a bit most of the starts will be transplanted and go to the GHg until they go in the ground. Another week or so and I will need to get the tomatoes and peppers going.
The GH plants are doing quite well still. Some of the greens are going to seed and the broccoli is almost ready for harvest. Cabbages are starting to head and the peas are coming up. We continue to get carrots, turnips and various greens both from outside and the GH.
When I was out checking on the fruit trees the other day I came across a pretty weed. It is very pretty and about the same size as it is in the picture. I have been searching on the net trying to find out what it is to no avail. Does anyone know what it is by chance?
