I’m looking forward to the warmer weather”…(The first day of Spring, the Vernal Equinox, begins with the vernal equinox at 7:02 A.M. (EDT) on March 20, 2013 in the Northern Hemisphere. And this season brings increasing daylight, warming temperatures, and the rebirth of flora and fauna. The word equinox is derived from the Latin words meaning “equal night.” Days and nights are approximately equal everywhere and the Sun rises and sets due east and west. Source:

And thank you for voicing the thoughts that propel me through my New York Winters. With passing of each day, spring edges a little bit closer. But at the same time we must not fail to appreciate each day as it comes our way – cold and snowy or not.
As for me and my garden, I know that one day I will walk down my walk and look down to discover a scattering of yellow and white crocus heads. but for that I’ll have to wait until at the very earliest, late March. Meanwhile I’m glad you have your Hellebores.

Herebores seed like crazy; I potted up about 150 seedlings last week which I will give to friends and sell for charity. Keep us posted with more photos please as your garden wakes up.
