| Winter Aconite flowers. Up until Sunday these were buried under a three foot deep block of ice which Tim helped me clear away |
 |
| Crocuses will be blooming in a week or two |
 |
| Under the snow the Primrose are always green |
 |
| Not sure I will be seeding peas this weekend. Its hard to get in the mood when everything is still iced over. |
 |
| The first Robins. Not 10 minutes ago. And for several days I have heard the Red Winged Blackbirds which are just as much a sign of Spring |
No matter what, the snow does melt eventually and Old Man Winter (perhaps begrudgingly) does permit Spring to make herself known. What a great piece of equipment to cover the Primrose!
ReplyDeleteYes, I use those wire cloches a lot. I also use them for crocus.
DeleteOnce the spring flowers no longer need to be protected, I rotate them around to whatever delightful delectable perennial sprout might be tempting the deer. Gardeners now sells riser collars for them that make them taller and wider. I need to get some of those.
