This is our second day of perfect spring rain. The garden is loving it. The plants are responding . Of course the rain is falling on the flowers and the weeds alike . After just two days of spring rain when you gaze out the window at the garden landscape, the trees, the bushes,the lawn,and the garden plants shout out in unison"GREEN!". Our one neighbor that can be seen when the leaves are off the trees has disappeared behind a green curtain. For now,we content ourselves with looking out the rain blurred window. When it clears off, we will tour the garden looking to see what difference the rain has made. Perhaps Ed's peas will be up. Maybe the asparagus will be too.I bet the weeds will be easier to find!

Where is your garden located? What is your zone?
We are in Upstate New York zone 4.
I love the wall of green when the trees fully leaf out. My willow is just starting to bud, but when it is in full leaf, it creates a backdrop of green for the garden, and extra privacy.
We haven't had the "green up" yet, but the weeds are already starting to grow. Just pulled up three dandelions today. Strangely it was really satisfying.

Absolutely beautiful.
