Last year I posted this picture of garlic shoots on April 6th. This year, it's two weeks earlier and garlic shoots are four times as big! Of course that due to unusually mild winter and warm spring in Rhode Island. In fact, we had a record breaking 80 degree day last week and several days in the 70s.
This weekend is a different story. Temps struggled to get into the 50s today. Not that I'm complaining. Those warm days are great to get plants started early, but I prefer cool days for the jobs I was working on this weekend.
Moving cinder blocks, weeding beds, putting down mulch; these are not jobs I want to do when it is 80 degrees outside.
