There are about a hundred potted perennials out on my front lawn right now as the latest wintry mix hits our area, and someone dropped off a huge box of cell trays and small pots to us yesterday. Some of them will go to our local library for their gardeners workshops and to prep for their annual plant sale fundraiser, some will go to the Master Gardeners program for their spring fundraiser, and I will attempt to find space for what we end up keeping.

What's growing on with you all?

I planted a raised bed full of different varieties of kale, my two pots of blueberries are going crazy already, and I'm trying to get micro clover to take over the "lawn" area. The last part is tricky because I desperately want it to consume all the empty spaces that turn to dust in the summer, but it's currently a gunky clay that sticks to everything. Fingers crossed!
