Happy Spring Equinox! It was a kind of chilly first day of spring here in Asheville. I took a stroll around the yard anyway to see what else was springing up.

This blossom must have opened today or yesterday because I swear it wasn't there a couple days ago. Its the first flower to open on Aaron's peach trees.

My plum tree has flowers opening all over the place. Hopefully the flowers will make it! If I remember correctly, most of the blooms were damaged before they started fruiting. There might be a better word for that.

A closer look at my plum tree blossoms.

Above is my motherwort plant. This one sarted popping up and filling in fast. This plant is very special to me and I have a feeling its going to do well this year. I bought this plant from a really neat guy that sells all kinds of plants and herbal goodies: http://www.dogheadherbfarm.com/

The yarrow I planted in the backyard is doing really well too. I can't wait for it to bloom again.

Sorrel seems to be a plant that comes back to life early. All of sorrel plants got big quick. I love the above variety...the leaves taste like sour apples.
