Just a few more weeks: daffs and peach tree, below, bloom in April
MARCH IS MUD SEASON in the Hudson Valley, raw, wet, and long. If I lived here full-time, I’d probably have to shoot myself right about now, but for remembering what’s to come.
After gardening on this property for seven years, I know it’s not long before brown turns to green, and then to an outrageous floral extravaganza.
In the meantime, I sustain myself with pictures from prior seasons (the small ones were taken Tuesday).
If those are globe alliums, above, it must be May
June: catmint, ladies mantle, threadleaf coreopsis, and daylilies, above
The island bed in August, above and below, with rudbeckia, sedum, boltonia, and more

“Hope springs eternal”!! It is good to be reminded of the good things ahead!
Trust me, I share your “If I lived here full-time, I’d probably have to shoot myself right about now” sentiment – but please, weedwhack that thought.
Think… daffodils.
