Pink apricots and a sweet potato grown for seedlings

Swinging between wintry cold and spring warmth, it is becoming real warm in the day time. The pink Japanese apricots are coming out. It is planted between our house and the other our parents used to live. It has been shaded by the big zelkova tree cut down recently. From now, this apricot tree would enjoy its days having much sunray every day. It had been planted by my father some 30 or 40 years ago before the zelkova came in.


The daffodils' flowers are the sign of spring arrival. They are blooming everywhere in the garden. 


I am trying to grow seedlings from this sweet potato. Half buried in the mixture of soil and compost made from weeds. It is kept indoor and a lot of weeds are budding. The other day, I was pulling those weeds in this pot and found one of them was really a seedling. Dang!  


This potato looks like a kid for me. Away from the practical purpose to grow seedlings to be planted in the yard farm, it sure looks a coworker or an accompanying "guy" to me. Strange but a reality.

A lot of tiny farms are ready to be planted with vegetables now.
