I say thank goodness for your southern March gardens and your photos - whine all you want in the summer - you've so kind to put up with our winter rants and beige blogs, it's the least we can do to listen and imagine what real heat feels like.Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-84983281685140624492009-03-13T20:09:00.000-04:002009-03-13T20:09:00.000-04:00Hello Barbara, Our son visited McGill as a possib...Hello Barbara, Our son visited McGill as a possible grad student and was terribly impressed by the signs everywhere warning people of falling ice shards. ~~ I am still laughing from the image of green shamrocks dangling from the red tinsel Christmas tree!~~ I was telling another northern gardener that just when spring bursts forth in your gardens we will be whining about the heat and humidity! Your seed order sounds delightfully colorful...I love four o'clocks...they smell delicious. I hope you start to see more green! gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-71822296116371849792009-03-12T15:07:00.000-04:002009-03-12T15:07:00.000-04:00Frances, that colourful fall photo really gives me...Frances, that colourful fall photo really gives me hope. Our earliest daffs will start in April - with most of the mid-season ones out in May. Although if this warmer weather continues...maybe we will have a pretty April.<BR/>E.G. The sky is a beautiful blue today - just have to keep my eyes up for the next few weeks until the green bits really start to come through.<BR/>Cathy - sounds like you've been having very similar weather - can't remember seeing this much rain in March.<BR/>R.G. Spent some time in Portland last fall - just beautiful. I can see why people come to visit and stay...you just have to have a firm grip in the rainy season - other than that it really is heaven on earth.<BR/>Gardenista - after I'm finished my light table, I'm going out to have a bit of a poke. While it's pretty brisk today, the sun feels warm, maybe something has been coaxed to the surface?Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-74673598002773139812009-03-12T00:56:00.000-04:002009-03-12T00:56:00.000-04:00Rain washing the snow away is a good start on spri...Rain washing the snow away is a good start on spring!

I know how pretty your area is in summer and fall, having been there then. You can keep the beige March. I want yellow daffodils in that month or the world just doesn't seem right to me. Your world must have daffodils in April? Or is it May?<BR/>FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
