Looks like we have another good day for melt, and thank heaven for it.
\nEven with last week’s relatively mild weather, we still have a foot or more of snow in some places.<\/p>
\nThe flower boxes and the deck are clear of the stuff, though, and I was able to do some pruning, having discovered that a number of plants seem to be green even after the brutal cold, a gratifying yet humbling thing to observe.
\nThe rhodie outside the office window has normal-looking leaves, and the melt has released most of the bushes from the snow.
\nI’m certain that there are already thousands of seedlings at Twin Gardens and other nurseries; the serious growers started planting in early January.
\nMid-March, the time for soil prep, is only a month away, and the Master Gardeners’ class on Backyard Horticulture starts in a couple of weeks.
\nWe’re getting there, “there” being Spring, something definitely to look forward to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
