Easter Grass/Ostergras

There was snow on the ground this morning, but in the afternoon it was gone and we sowed our Easter grass.  We are trying farro berries this year.  

Heute morgen lag Schnee, aber nachmittags war er wieder weg und wir haben unser Ostergras gesät.  Dieses Jahr haben wir "Farro" genommen.  Das kann Emmer, Einkorn oder Dinkel sein, doch wird hier unter "Farro" verkauft.  





We soaked the kernels for 24 hours.
Wir haben die Körner 24 Stunden lang eingeweicht.  



This is a bigger kind of crocus blooming in our backyard.
Diese Art von Krokus ist größer und blüht jetzt im Garten.  



Thief!
Dieb!

  1. Was für schöne Krokusse, diese grösseren haben wir auch. Viel Erfolg mit dem Ostergras!

  2. The squirrels can be so daring! Has your Easter grass sprouted yet? I meant to bring some forsythia branches home from Montauk, but forgot. I should be able to get some next time we go out. It was interesting as the forsythia hadn't begun blooming yet out east, but it has begun here in the "west!"

    1. Jonathan's is doing the most sprouting (the girls planted some for him). I still have to cut some forsythia branches tomorrow. They are not blooming yet, though. Is it colder in Montauk? By the way, I still have a library bag from the Montauk library you gave Charlotte to transport something in. She did not remember if you wanted it back or not. Let me know, whether you want it and I will send it!

    2. P.S. Our squirrels are really annoying.
