It is incredibly warm this year. That means that the perennial plants in the garden and yard have started to green and pop up far earlier than usual. Not that I am complaining, but I wasn’t expecting to have fresh chives and oregano in March!
There are also violets up already and I am not used to seeing their cheerful blooms until May or June.
I do cook with flowers by adding them to salads and candying them. I guess it is time to get out the sugar already.
