| Enchanted Peace - feeding the addiction. |
Others are experiencing snow and ice, but our new storm only brought a long, steady rain. Precipitation begins as snow, but we seldom see that form. Once again the autumn leaves are on the garden, which is losing its green color, then brightening to green again when it is warm.
The soggy garden is full of life. The roses, spirea, Joe Pye, and borage are napping until spring, but the autumn bulbs aka hardy bulbs are getting ready for the first signs of winter retreating. Hardy bulbs love the cold and require it for blooming. The best bulb flowers I grew were in Michigan and the People's Republic of Minnesota.
God Created the hardy bulbs to bring cheer and food to the early spring, when ordinary plants are just starting to bud. When we placed the bulbs in the soil, they were somewhat dry. Soil moisture started their roots growing and the plant reaching up but stopping near the surface.
