It is official, Spring is here! The peepers said so!

Peeper

Thanks to a few warm raining nights, the native amphibians are on the move to mate.  Although seldom seen during the day, a chorus of male spring peepers can be heard serenading the females as night begins to fall.  My grandmother’s wisdom said the peepers song signals that it’s safe to plant spinach and kale seed directly into the garden.  And if you haven’t planted your peas yet, you can still plant them now.
