The last week of February this year was designated National Invasive Species Awareness Week. While it states National in its title, it really is international, since many species are imported into areas where they were never intended to be.
As i sit here facing our large window looking at the front yard, I can see new growth on the nasturtium, light green leaves on the tip of the passionflower vine, I can feel spring coming our way. The sun is shining brightly.
In February I took out the last of my tomato plants. Some I had removed in December when we were threatened with a multiple day freeze. But I had left the Sweet 100, Yellow Pear and an Early Girl that was tangled up between those two.
