Hardy plants for hardy souls
From Fedco: “Jericho Lettuce (60 days) . . . bred in Israel’s hot dry climate to stand high temperatures. Jericho is an imposing Romaine. Under fertile conditions it can grow dense hefty 2′ tall heads of light green sword-shaped upright leaves. Yet it remains crisp, juicy and unusually sweet.”
Now, the digging and dividing of perennials, the general autumn cleanup and the planting of spring bulbs are all an act of faith. One carries on before the altar of delayed gratification, until the ground freezes and you can’t do any more other than refill the bird feeder and gaze through the window, waiting for the snow. . . . Meanwhile, it helps to think of yourself as a pear tree or a tulip. You will blossom spectacularly in the spring, but only after the required period of chilling.
