My partner woke me up this morning with this super serious look on his face. I asked him what’s wrong and he simply said “Emily… there’s dandelions in the yard…” I hauled myself out in my pajamas and sure enough, there they were, the season’s first flowers!

I’m going to wait for a few more to bloom before harvesting any so the early spring pollinators have some food, and this weekend I’ll probably take a hike out to where the big colony of Snowdrops and Squill always grows and see if I can kick off the spring season with my first new specimens of 2018! I’ll also probably take a little drive this evening to the spot where Coltsfoot always grow to see if they’ve come in yet.

I’m real excited!
