For a lot of people crocuses, daffodils, blossoms, tulips are the first signs of spring.

Not me.
As soon as I can I am sticking my fingers in the dirt looking for two things:
Rhubarb and Comfrey.

Yes, Rhubarb and Comfrey are the very first plants that start showing themselves in my garden.  As soon as those red balls of crinkly rhubarb leaves start pushing up through the old, dead leaves of last summer I know that we have turned the corner. Sure we will have cold days and nights ahead, but the endless frozen days of winter are over.
And look what I found.
Rhubarb and Comfrey.
Welcome Spring.
