March 20 Spring is hereBut you would never know it from the weather. This winter has been long and cold, with heavier than normal snowfall. Usually by this time I have ventured outside to prune roses, hydrangea and clematis, and cut back perennials. Not so this year. It will be a few more weeks before any tasks can be carried out in the garden. The good news is that the increased snow cover helped protect plants against the winter winds, and the snow melt will go into groundwater stores.
If you just can't wait to see some growth, try growing some fast sprouting herbs on a sunny windowsill. So far I have chervil and Thai basil started. Germination occurs in a week or less, and it's immensely satisfying to see the fresh green leaves.
