Return to Winter

February is going out with a bang.  All month it has been mild and little snow has fallen. The last  week of this month is making up for it with three storms. Today we got around ten inches with more on the way tomorrow.The snow was very wet and damaged a few shrubs which will have to be cut back.  There were snowdrops up in the front garden but they are now covered with snow.  Speaking of bulbs I found a great source for unusual bulbs called Odyssey Bulbs in Massachusetts that specializes in minor bulbs such as corydalis and fritillaria. I also have snowdrops' in the green' coming in April from The Temple Nursery in Trumansburg New York.  This small nursery grows a nice selection of  these wonderful bulbs.
