Spring has sprung at Huron Ridge

Spring has arrived here at Huron Ridge despite the arrival of snow over the weekend and last night. By the sounds of the weather forecast, it's not going to last long! My kids were outside sledding on Monday and Tuesday. I do appreciate a little snow during March Break....it's nice to be able to send the kids outside to play.
Hope you enjoy the latest pictures I'm posting. It's fun walking through the greenhouse snapping pictures to show you. It is a lift to the spirit.
Here is a bench full of newly transplanted Tuberous Begonias. We've had lots of sunshine and bright light in the last week or so, which is beneficial to all the plants.
Here is some early basil that we have growing. It's always a treat to have some fresh herbs before the garden is even planted.
These are bright pink geraniums. They will soon be transplanted into pots and spread out on a bench so they can grow nice and full. What a great colour!
Red Onions! These were planted last week, I think, and are beginning to sprout. We also planted spanish onions and leeks.
This is one of my favourite colours of petunia. The centre and veins are dark purple and the outside of the petals are a cool lavender colour.
It's very bright and showy and looks great with red, white and yellow. It's a trailing kind, much like the Wave Petunias but bred by a different company.
