baitalDidn't really work outside much today. It was still pretty cold and windy. I hear we're getting snow tomorrow?
Yesterday I discovered this single little leaf peeking out of the ground. It didn't look like anything I'd seen in my garden before, and I'm a little confused how it got there.
Turns out it's a Trout Lily (https://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=eram5), which is a native plant that does decently well in the shade. It apparently takes these things 7 years to produce a single yellow flower, but they are supposed to form a colony, so maybe I will get some good ground cover? The leaves are a very pretty mottled color, and it makes a nice variation in my otherwise very "just green" garden.
I ordered some additional raised bed kits so I can expand the vegetable garden. I'm also trying like hell to order a Subpod composting system, but the damn website keeps declining my card. Either way, looking forward to growing Even More Things this year.
