Today I noticed the hydrangeas have a little bit of green at the bottom and at least one of the ferns is starting to wake up. They died back all the way to the ground, which was disconcerting, but they are still alive! The sugar snap peas have also sprouted.
Last night the Vinca Minor arrived, so this afternoon they went into the southeast corner of the oasis. The sprinklers are also installed, although the water pressure is a bit low, so I might have to add one more head.

First Planting
We planted sweet peas, sugar snap peas, carrots (ew!), spinach, and romaine lettuce on March 30 this year, as soon as the grow boxes were finished. Yesterday (April 14) I noticed little sprouts of spinach poking up.
Saturday (April 12) I put in a second round of sweet peas, spinach, romaine lettuce, and some broccoli (just for an experiment).
Daffodils on the south side of the house started blooming about two or three weeks ago, and the tulips are just about ready to bloom.
