Lion or lamb? Who knows what March will bring us from day to day. I just know that I’m itching to resume communing with my garden. I’m enjoying snowdrops, winter aconites, and Lenten roses and spotting an early dandelion or two amidst the emerging tulip foliage. My native plants are still cozy in the ground, with their stalks and leaves in place to shelter our insect friends who will emerge later to become food for our birds and their babies.

My garden is a living, breathing entity and soothing to the soul. I’m embracing it whatever the weather.  

Many thanks to Zelma Taylor for her kind support of HortusScope.
