Winter Is Cold; You Are Not Alone My Gardening Friends

Petunia in Shawna's Lamb's Ears

Some days in the frigid, darkness, when cold silence seems our only friend, we gardeners become a little melancholy. We feel lonely and tired and dream of the garden that is yet to erupt into beautiful life.

Remember that you are not alone. Around you, particularly online, are all your warm, soft, fuzzy friends who promise to lift your spirit and bring a smile to a precious face, much like the Lamb’s Ears that surround this lone Petunia.

Wishing you hugs this wintery January…. lots of hugs. Be patient - gardening is right around the corner.

I hope you're right about gardening being right around the corner. This is the time of year when I get especially impatient. And that's sad because we've not had much of a winter up until last week.

"Winter" seems like a memory here in Texas today, Shawna....high 70's with thunderstorms. Last week, tornadoes. Freezing temps by week's end. Our plants fight a different sort of battle: confusion!
