Well we are a little more than halfway through February, and I am getting really sick of chocolate, never thought I would say that. It sounded like a good idea when I had that brief moment of insanity 20 days ago and decided to start this. My helper Georgia is not helping at all she just sits in the office and sleeps. Spring is starting to pop up. The hellebore's are blooming, the tulips are starting to peak out and even some of the hydrangeas are starting to leaf as well as the roses, I hope they know what they are doing. With sunshine yesterday and the rest of the week it is really starting to look like spring. I can't wait for the garden to start coming back to life. I am hoping for one of our early springs to make up for the one we didn't get last year.
