Ellen, I’m thrilled to see the timing of this lovely post. My husband and I just returned from Monticello last week. The kitchen gardens are just starting to be planted. Daffodils are done, tulips are on their way to being done and peonies are starting. Leaves are still newly sprouted on the trees. The hops is almost strung and kale, peas and cold hardy vegetables are standing tall. Unfortunately our trip was a bit hampered by some sleet and light snow as a cold snap was visiting. As they say, There’s no bad weather, just bad clothes., I suffered from bad clothes as I was prepared for mostly heat. But the best was made of the situation and Monticello still shines.
