| Early spring is still a blend of browns and grays |

It's the warmest March Montreal has seen in 70 years, according to the CBC, with a projected high of 20 degrees (68F) and clear blue skies. And what greater way to celebrate the warmth than by stepping out into the garden (in a
tank top!!!) and surveying the land.
The tulips and crocus have pushed their leaves above the soil. I look forward to their blue and orange blooms in the coming months. But the arrival of the spring bulbs makes me curious about the garlic below the soil as well. I marked the garlic with thin green poles so I could anticipate its sprouting. The leaves I used to mulch and insulate the soil are still quite thick on the surface. But sure enough, as I peel them away I see the green garlic tips poking out from the warm soil. I'd like to also report that the chives are also making a nice showing and are already a few inches high. Ah, spring is in the air!
