I'll take what I can get.<BR/><BR/>Chiot's Run, I tried doing a little yesterday, just getting rid of some of the snow on my garden. I think it is a lost cause.<BR/><BR/>garden girl, Well vacation is always fun :><BR/><BR/>Michelle, I forgive you. Sometimes reading other peoples blogs helps me out - a little vicarious pleasure. And then again sometimes it just make me miss my garden that much more.<BR/><BR/>Dan, Yup way too cold this winter. Sadly my snow is going to increase soon. Another storm is coming in.<BR/><BR/>EG, For you the down time must be a good time to get all those projects done. You are always working on something for the garden it seems. Even in winter.<BR/><BR/>Amanda, it did get warm enough yesterday for the garlic to melt out. I loved seeing the little shoots.<BR/><BR/>Our Friend Ben, usually my Zen winter moment is drinking hot tea while watching those storms blow in. It is amazing how the same storm can cause peacefulness and angst.<BR/><BR/>Tessa, that is just how I feel about my dirt. It is just going to take forever to be ready.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-84230697431841753192009-02-27T22:37:00.000-05:002009-02-27T22:37:00.000-05:00Daphne, Great post!

I meant stewing about whether they are going to germinate, when they'll germinate, and if they'll grow well! I go in there every day telling them how much I would like to see their little heads :)...they take 40 to 62 days to do this! Thanks for the link love and as always, happy gardening...soon I hope!Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357951823874888877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-33457662438489851082009-02-27T16:17:00.000-05:002009-02-27T16:17:00.000-05:00Zen: Snow geese flying overhead in their thousands...Zen: Snow geese flying overhead in their thousands. Iris leaves still green (soon to be purple!!!) in the shallow water garden and the bed beside our parking square. Snowdrops. Finally seeing the ground. Anti-Zen moments: The stream still frozen. 50 mph winds ripping through here. Farmers shooting the snow geese. Predictions of snow and sleet tomorrow. Such is spring!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-34177316480719984322009-02-27T15:21:00.000-05:002009-02-27T15:21:00.000-05:00I empathise utterly.

That is some temperature swing.<BR/><BR/>We are still pretty much snowless here asides from some stubborn snowbanks, I hope it stays this way. I was checking out the cold frame yesterday and it had warm, dry soil in it. I must say I had a little zen moment with my hands in that warm soil. <BR/><BR/>It has seemed to be a pretty cold winter. You can certainly tell by the average outdoor temperature on the gas bill.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-1484487343409189532009-02-27T10:58:00.000-05:002009-02-27T10:58:00.000-05:00I'm anything but Zen right now.

Now that I'm gardening professionally, as much as I enjoy it I'm in no rush to get underway. I plan to enjoy these last few quiet weeks at home!garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-89072966449870310972009-02-27T09:49:00.000-05:002009-02-27T09:49:00.000-05:00I know exactly what you mean.
