Beginning of Gardens

This is how we garden on the Daniels Farm in the early Spring.

February - Fertilize the fruit trees, blackberries, and grapes. 

March - Prune, Cultivate, Gather Branches, and...

Burn! There's nothing better than the smell of burning branches. It signals a renewal of life on the farm and the start of a promising growing season. 

The Apricot trees are first to bloom. Their blossoms look like popcorn!

This year it's been too cold for the bees. We're hoping for warm days soon so the  honey bee can do what they do best... pollinate!

After the ground has warmed up, we will plant a vegetable garden on the same spot we burned branches. 

In the yard, flowers are now just working their way up out of the cold earth. 

It won't be long until the yard and orchard with be bustling with green leaves, splashes of colorful flowers, delightful smell of lilac, and the sounds of bees humming and birds singing. Oh... I do love Spring!
