Sorry I missed this thread earlier Neal. You have done an incredible amount of work with 15 beds. I think my beds tend toward weeds. I wish those weeds were more complimentary to lilies than they are. I've actually enjoyed the off season, using it to regenerate and feed my other interests, which is good. Waiting for Spring used to just about do me in, but now I actually find I miss the snow to ski in and that shoveling is nicer than mowing. And in the winter the weeds cannot be seen, though it is my firm belief that they never go dormant. Go figure. Though driving in the snow is one of my least favorite hobbies.
What a great day you had too. We have had warmer temps this week, but I always know that in Wisconsin, winter never goes down without a roar. There is bound to be a pile of snow landing here, good though, this time of year it never lasts long. It just gives those thirsty plants their extra water.
I've always enjoyed pussywillows. I recall them in my childhood, though my parents never grew them. Perhaps it was a neighbor. Not really sure, but I do remember being so fascinated with them and how soft and smooth they were. I think I got so excited about spring even then that I was naughty and went picking my neighbors tulips. The things we remember......
