Week In Review: Spring Fever Hits Hard
I’m obsessed. Truly I am. I have nothing but spring on the brain! All I can think about is sunshine, gardening, and flowers. And I’m not alone. It’s an epidemic that is sweeping the country. Everywhere you look — whatever the current weather — people are talking about spring.
For all of you who are just as spring and garden-crazed as I am, Find Out What Your Garden Name Is! I’m Poppy Von-Red Cabbage! 🙂

Speaking of gardens…I can’t wait to plant mine! Not only am I excited about getting my hands in the dirt, but I also can’t wait to enjoy the vegetables and herbs of our labor. Here are some terrific recipes from fellow bloggers that have me garden inspired.
Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad from Forks Up
Asparagus Gruyère Tart from Cottage Grove House
Sugar Snap Pea Salad from Caramelized
Home Grown Squash with Tomatoes and Soft Buffalo Cheese from The Single Gourmet and Traveller
Fennel Artichoke Tart from The Salt Tooth
Cilantro Avocado Smoothie from The Celiac Chronicles

Thanks so much to Fig and Quince for tweeting one of my favorite Rilke quotes earlier this week! Was so happy about it I had to make my own image for it using some spring shots from last year.

We have spring at last in London too. It’s so great to have sun and warmth again and see everything coming to life in the garden. Many thanks for linking my recipe 🙂
Of course! And so glad that you have spring in London now as well! 🙂

No spring here yet but it is warming up and our house is moving along so every thing is good for me right now. As long as there is no more snow!
Cynthia
Yes…as long as the house keeps progressing that is definitely just as good!!
Thanks so much for including us in your garden inspired recipe roundup, Jessica!
You’re quite welcome Cathy! 🙂

It doesn’t feel or look like spring yet here in NYC, still frozen. Last year we already had spring flowers bloomed. This year frozen tundra. Can’t wait, it cannot get here fast enough.
I hope it does for you! Even here in Texas things are late to bloom and trees are late to produce their spring leaves.
My garden’s name is: Iris Von Umbrella-tree 🙂 can’t wait to start planting!
I like your garden name! Hopefully it won’t be too much longer before you can start!
Waterlily Von Pumpkinseed. Cocktails are essential! Alco or non alco!

Conifer McMulch Bucket! Your name is much cuter! thanks for the cocktail round-up, some how I went straight to that part! 🙂
