| Salmonberry |
I saw my first salmonberry blossom last Friday (5/24) but did not get around to taking a picture of one until today. I also suspect that they have been blooming for a few days before I noticed my first blossom. I had forgotten to look for blossoms and the one I saw caught me by surprise. Last year I saw my first blossom on May 17th - so we are about a week later than last year. Looking back at 'my first blossom' blog posts (click here for link) I think we typically get our first salmonberry blossom in mid May. So spring is a little bit later than usual this year - which is a good thing because I have also been late planting my garden. However, I also saw that in 2016 we had the first blossom in late March and in 2018 it was mid April.
As regards my garden I planted all my seeds a few days ago and am just now planting my potatoes. But my garden is already producing nettles and every single one of the garlic cloves I planted last fall has sprouted. This year my garden will be super simple with just lettuce, beets, carrots, kale, garlic, potatoes and radishes. I also planted nasturtiums in some of my planters. Fingers crossed that everything sprouts!
