It began as a response to feeling that I had put all these snowdrops in and they were supposed to increase but I thought they weren't. I read on Veg Plottings blog about her annual count and I thought I would do it too. So far I have counted in 2009,10 and 11. 2012 count yet to take place as they are not all out yet!

I also wish I had a garden like that. With the jungle of evergreens we have here, vegetation wise, it hardly feels winter here except the handful of naked maples by our patio. But they say the tulips are already in the farmer's market and I can't wait to get myself a bunch. <br /><br />P.S. How do I follow you?
