It continues mild

 I have never had 'Hens & Chicks" get as large as the one in this strawberry jar.  They are such sweet little plants.

The weather continues to be wonderfully mild for Eastern North Carolina.  To date, we have had only two days with temperatures above 90.  Today it was about 81 with low humidity.  What a joy.
The cooler temps and all the rain is letting the garden get well established this year.

Lots of things are blooming now.  Here is some cleome from the back yard, and an Easter Lily from the front yard.  The Knifophia (red hot pokers) are now blooming, as are canna lilies, St. John's Wort, phlox, daisies and black eyed Susans.

The first planting of corn is up about 4 feet and looking great.  We should be able to harvest our first tomatoes soon.
