First snowdrops bloomed today *and* it got up to 61F. Yes, mud season is here!

About

Kathy Purdy discovered the joys of writing in fourth grade, when she started corresponding with a former classmate. She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. • USDA Hardiness Zone:4 • AHS Heat Zone: 3 • Location: rural; Southern Tier of NY • Geographic type: foothills of Appalachian Mountains • Soil Type: acid clay • Experience level: intermediate • Particular interests: colchicums, narcissus, cottage gardening, NY native plants, gardening with/for children

What is life, and what is gardening, if one is not always ready to make new friends and make new experiments?

I never thought I’d EVER look forward to mud, but this year may just be the exception. :) Can’t wait to see some of those spring blooms here.

Very carefully chosen and sited snowdrops–that is the key.
