Today is the first full day of spring (Spring officially arrived yesterday afteroon). Temps were in the 70's yesterday and today it is only 60, but skies are clear and it is absolutely a perfect day. Karen and I went to one of our favorite restaurants. Bruna's Table just started serving breakfast so we wanted to check it out. You know you're eating at an Italian Restaurant when you can Pasta Fagioli at 9am. We had to get a good breakfast because 10 yards of mulch were waiting in the driveway when we got home. Not much is up this early in the season, but we had to clean out the ornamental beds, pull out some weeds and carefully put the mulch around emerging shoots. One thing you can count on to be up early and first to bloom is Crocus. They will even bloom when there is snow on the ground. Don't laugh, in 1997 we got 2 feet of snow on April 1st (it was 70 degrees a couple of days later), so it can snow late in the season. Hearty Crocus will still be blooming!
