High drama in the TeenyTinyGarden! Last week I noticed two (2) Snowdrops, Galanthus nivalis, completely freed from under the slowly-retreating snow rubble; one in the front mulch bed, near the (dwarf) Rhododendron, and the other under the Japanese Maple. There are probably many more, waiting to emerge.
On the noon weather forecast today, all stations are calling for "single digits" tonight, and below zero windchill in the morning (yes, I know that plants don't actually respond to "windchill"). John asks, "Will they survive?" And I say, "Yes, I think so...I tossed a bit of snow around them when I was out earlier, to protect them."
Fingers crossed...
[Now would be the right place to add an image of our little guys, but first I have to master the camera. Well, first I have to find the camera... Instead I will mention that I haven't much liked doing photography since things went digital, and especially since good B&W paper is barely possible to find, and Kodachrome went away--but more about that another time.]
