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).
