Not here, no sirree. We had April SNOW FLURRIES... and it definitely did damage to the garden. Luckily for me, I learned my lesson a few years back with a last frost in May even though our last frost is ostensibly April 15th... and my peas, cabbages, cauliflowers, onions and broccoli seem to be doing just fine.
The sage, Woodruff, Lily of the Valley and baby chives I planted are also doing well... the baby chives were offspring of my own huge clump. I decided to try and make a herbal 'hedge' around one of my gardens using it!
I still have two beds to finish building... and hopefully this weekend will be warm enough to attempt it!!
"I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania some time of the night,
Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight
-A Midsummer-Night’s Dream (2.1.260-5)
