Spring was supposed to have arrived earlier this week but has obviously bypassed us. Everything is still buried under the snow. While both going to and returning from the garden center a number of flocks of geese in ragged vee's went overhead, flying west. They knew where the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge was. The geese were a sign that perhaps, maybe, hopefully it will again be spring.
Hope springs eternal to a gardener.
Another positive sign was the buckets on the sugar maple trees. The sap is flowing. For a complete listing of article comments, questions, and other discussions related to Howard Deutch's Garden Adventures topic, please visit the Discussions page . Used under License.
