Good morning, gardeners, and welcome to the Saturday Morning Garden Blog!
"What a surprise to see rain at the end of February," said no one in the Pacific Northwest, ever. It's still quite cold here, and very, very wet. But i actually enjoy this time of year, when the grays of winter can act as a canvass for the slowly emerging colors of Spring. This transition becomes increasingly apparent along the trails in the back woods, where mossy mounds and fallen stumps stand like sculptures among the naked trees. Shall we grab our rubber boots and have a look around at some of my favorite shapes?
It'll be a while before we have more sunshine than rain here, but before long, the grounds will firm up and Spring clean-up can begin in earnest. Rest assured, the mud won't last forever …
What's going on in your gardens?
