Yard salad

Store-bought red lettuce supplemented with violets, hairy bittercress, and a few dandelion leaves from my yard. It was pretty good.

Unearthed cicada

Dug up while moving some coneflowers. The reddish eyes make me suspect it's one of the 17 year cicadas. 

Winter-sown seeds

I checked the containers in my back yard again today. Previously I had seen the pearly everlasting germinating, and a couple of days ago, the liatris. Yesterday I saw the royal catchfly. Today I saw the false sunflower, and finally, the Asclepias syriacus. Very exciting!

First daffodil blooms of the year

Germination-- pearly everlasting

First to germinate! That I've seen, anyway.
