waiting for spring

Originally uploaded by SOFennell

I am waiting for spring, but before it arrives, I would love a little winter. All we’ve had is a feint suggestion and it continues to be that way. Still, I can’t help but look ahead.

I know I wrote much earlier, about my indigo plants, wondering what to do with them over the winter – I did finally, last month, cut them back. Only one made it indoors where I sat it in the sun and ignored it. It’s coming back with healthy green leaves. So, I’m thinking about this coming spring and planting more seeds…more plants…more indigo.

  Hmm. I’m wondering why that might be. I thought you had pretty mild temps. Interestingly…today there was an article in today’s paper (NC’s N&O) about climate change and how it has affected our plant hardiness zones. Apparently we are one degree from being in zone 8 which is more coastal temps. We are warming up and it looks like we compare to SC and you know the history there.
