Good morning, and we're singing the blues. Welcome to Saturday Morning Garden Blogging.
What a difference a week makes. On Tuesday, a week after a storm dumped a foot of snow on us, the high temperature was 82°. With the warmth, my hyacinth burst forth in a stunning display of sight and scent. Because I've planted a lot of antique varieties, there are subtleties of shade, form and scent that have to been seen to be appreciated - this group of blues and purples shows it as well as I can in photographs. Please note in the back the deep, deep indigo of King of the Blues.
It cooled down on Wednesday - we didn't even break 60° - but it was still pleasant enough to putter around outside, even if it wasn't yet dry enough to till the veggie patch. As I went about my business in the front yard a parade of passers-by stopped to compliment and comment, including a couple of cars that stopped in the street and shouted their appreciation from opened windows. My front yard is a magnet this time of year.
