Spent some of this warm and sunny afternoon pulling weeds and digging the carrots. This is the earliest date that I remember spending serious time weeding. I managed to catch the brassicas before they blooomed, but not by much.
I dug the carrots because I didn't want them to start producing vegetative growth and flower stalks with the warm weather. I don't think that it is even vaguely cold enough to keep them in slow growth mode and the increasing light isn't helping with that either.
The french sorrel, onions, kale, and rhubarb are up and growing.
I found a bunch of snowdrops, one crocus, one iris, and one pink pulmonaria in bloom.
