Daylilies re-emerging after the snow last week. I cannot wait to see all the beautiful flowers they will produce this year.
Egyptian Walking onions re-emerging after the snow last week. These are the hardiest onions I have grown. You will always have onions when you plant Egyptian Walking Onions because they produce topset onions and re-plant themselves everywhere. They are mostly useful for their green tops.

Here is a pic of the lemon flower that was hand pollinated on February 1st. It has developed into a very small green lemon. The petals will be shed and the lemon will grow to a full size over the next few months. Then in the fall, it will ripen and turn yellow.
This little arugula plant survived with no blanket or other cover under 6 plus inches of snow for several days with low temperatures of 3 and 5 degrees. Arugula is a hardy plant.
