Its April 4th and we woke up to a frozen rime coating our land, car, and anything that slowed down long enough to freeze.
The robins were super fluffy as they tried to warm up (poikilothermy is an awesome thing) and find a frozen seed or two amongst our weed patches.
I am starving for warmth, though not the biting black flies or the humidity that hits New England out of nowhere.
I am starved for fresh green lettuces and so my mind turns to what we will grow this summer.
Last summer, you may remember, I grew a lettuce patch and did some container gardening.
This year, I think I want to grow 5 metric tons of basil. I want to go out onto my deck and sit amongst a forest of basils of all sorts.
