OK, maybe spring really is here

We have lots of crocuses.

The forsythia is even about to bloom (and it needs to be trimmed so it stays out of the way of the kiwis).

And I've finally got some things planted.

I've got strawberries planted in that ingenious little tower, plus there are sugar snap peas in the tub with some bamboo to climb. The other pot has radishes in it. I also planted some other hardy items, like diakon radishes and Swiss chard. Some fruit trees I ordered (thanks, Mom!) showed up, and they're in temporary pots on the front porch: a mini nectarine, a brown turkey fig, and two varieties of colonnade apples. I also started the hot weather seeds indoors today: tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, tomatillos, and some flowers.

So yeah. Maybe spring is here. Not that I don't expect it to snow at least once more, but at least there's hope now!
