Summer Street cottages

The Cottage District (Summer Street and 16th Street) was our morning destination for the Garden Bloggers Buffa10 meet-up.

These areas are totally packed during Garden Walk, for good reason.

Apparently, there are lines to visit every garden, and the streets are mobbed with visitors.

We made an enthusiastic group despite the showers.

Spring is a little over 30 days away so I started some spring greens. They include Winter Density Lettuce, Shanghai Bok Choy, Tatsoi and Boston Lettuce. I also started a couple trays of Alisa Craig onions. I am hoping to plant out the greens in the polytunnel during the first week of March, weather permitting of course.

The seeds I started late January are also doing well, here are some photos of them:



On the weather front, this week is bringing a much needed warm up. Friday is forcasted to be 10c (50f). I hope this is a trend that will continue! The sun is feeling warmer, the birds are starting to sing, bring on spring!

Even though its just the end of February, more spring wildflowers are appearing.

There are more Chrysogonum virginianum (Green and Gold) flowers along the Heusel Trail (at the SC Botanical Garden) along with the first (small) flowers of bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis).  Its surprising to see bloodroot now, but with Trillium cuneatum and Erythronium popping up, too, Ive been on the lookout for them and its been warm the last few days. 


This post, from March 26, 2010, showed a huge clump of bloodroot in our front wildflower border (it hasnt reappeared, probably due to drought and heat over the last two summers without supplemental water) as the gardeners were away.  But its offspring are flowering now, as there were quite a few seedlings that appeared in two years following.

Sanguinaria canadensis in the front border, March

Last year, I made mention of bloodroot on March 23 and its fruits on March 28 in posts (so Im a full month ahead this year!)
