Helen Chesnut s Garden Notes: Gardeners rejoice as fresh green shoots emerge in veggie plots

I agree that, for gardeners, nothing else quite matches the pleasure of seeing fresh green shoots appearing out of the soil where seeds have been sown. I’ve been trying to figure out what has made the past month in the garden so sumptuous, with an exceptional amount of bloom all at once. The answer probably lies in the summer-like weather last month that brought on mid-April bloom in plants like a flowering cherry and a species tulip that routinely delay bloom until May. Tulipa bakeri ‘Lilac Wonder’ for years has been a Mother’s Day flower in the garden. This spring, it began opening its distinctive mauve pink and soft yellow blooms three weeks early. After the unseasonal warmth in April came a return to temperatures cold enough to prolong the early flowering well into its more typical timing and beyond, in a sort of “perfect storm” of bloom. It’s really no surprise that we’re all rejoicing in our gardens this spring.
