Spring is coming to zone5
Three consecutive days of 55+ temps And I'm seeing signs of spring In
southern New Hampshire where last week there was 2 feet of snow. Daffs amost an inch tall Hollyhock 2" Broadleaf Chives an inch tall Of course these are in front of a large brick wall that I'm sure adds a zone to this garden. It's sweet to see some growth. The east side of the bldg I was shoveling snow off Taxis,(Yews, not Maratons). Still have penty of snow at home, but I started planting hollyhocks, 20 dozen! There's going to be a lot of freebies coming out of my post office. Kevin |

I think I have a winter aconite in bloom. I almost missed the black pussy

Spring is coming to zone5
Spring has also come to zone 6, two towns west of Boston. I put in a
blissful hour today pruning my rose bushes and giving them their epsom salts. Some snow is still here, but I work around it. Tomorrow I'll go look for my snowdrops which should be starting to show. My bulbs are popping and the tulips are racing the crocuses. Swampy, the resident garden gargoyle, finally emerged from his snowbank, and from his disgusted, dejected mien, he too thinks we'll never get this mess cleaned up. Meanwhile indoors, my seedlings are growing, but not spindly. I caught myself reciting the Prologue from the Canterbury Tales when I saw and heard the birds chasing each other with new zest, and I think, with joy, that I may just have survived the winter of '03. (And, yes, I know we can still get snow because we have had it in May in the past, but my spring has definitely begun) Happily, Eugenia, zone 6, two towns west of Boston "Iris Cohen" wrote in message ...
