Lovely to see ‘pussy willow’ (Salix) in the photos too. Gardening has been a lifelong passion with me, but my current garden in North Yorkshire can be 6 weeks behind my previous home in Berkshire. Thankfully my deep purple hellebores already brighten my days, as do my snowdrops, and some early primroses.

Here in the Hudson Valley, we don’t dare plant anything until right before Memorial Day…..but (like you) we have started plotting and dreaming of getting our hands in the soil and deciding on color schemes, etc.
I loved seeing the gleeful smiles on many of the customers.
Thanks for the colorful blast of optimism today, as ever.

GA, many thanks for that glimpse of spring from the Royal Horticultural Society’s Early Spring Plant Fair. With gorgeous pics, of course.

Reminds me of Shelley’s eternal question in his “Ode to the West Wind” –
“If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?”
