Spring is stirring in the potager

March 12th, 2009

Arugula Blossom
Rhubarb Shoots
Sorrel Leaves Bay Leaf & Berries
Rosemary Blossoms Sage Leaves

Blossoms on the arugula, the roquette now going to seed just doesn’t want to give up, its veined petals stirring in the morning breeze. Taking a closer look, I rake leaves off a mound of dirt to find rhubarb nosing through, then lift more leaves covering uniform sorrel leaves. Encouraged, I study the glossy bay leaves and note tiny berries forming on the stem. The new rosemary plant has made it through the winter and sports fragile lavender petals, while its neighboring sage bush shoots leaves, as soft as felted wool.  I watch closely…. more signs of a new season appear every day.
