Winter is fading with a vengeance here. Last weekend we went from high in the 20-30 to above 40 and sunny almost every day this week. Really a good motivation to start thinking about getting prepared for the coming planting season.

On a side gardening note, I have determined that Snapdragons must be one of the toughest flowers known to man. I was surprised as even after a few hard frosts the snapdragon ‘bush - about 1x1x1’ that grows in our front flower bed stayed green. I was absolutely amazed that after being buried in snow for almost 3 weeks, after it melted those little guys look beat up but some of them are still green and starting to grow.

Well that makes them a very worthy plant for colder climates.
