I am a bit smitten.<br />Anna - I haven't tried to experiment with the hellebores. You are making me wonder if I should!<br />Janet - well if you love Tenby you should definitely go for the Tenby daff.

It amuses me that we have so many of the same things growing, despite our enormous geographic separation. It's all hellebores right now and I wish I had even more of them. I'd have them in every bed if I could. My garlic is up, planted in the fall, and our fruit trees are budding like crazy. The rest of it is still mud though! I'm planning on making moss tea this weekend, for my shady and cool areas. Washington has dozens of lovely native mosses, and when I'm in the forest I am transfixed by them and their green gold colors, so I'm going to try the moss-plus-buttermilk in a blender trick!Frithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733628227209788165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-87717212641298257962011-03-02T21:56:30.627+00:002011-03-02T21:56:30.627+00:00Everything at your place looks ready to burst into...Everything at your place looks ready to burst into flower, with no messy bits still needing to be raked and swept.
