Thank you, it is full of hope! My snowbanks have almost gone, and I see new growth as soon as the ground is bare, sometimes the next day! Bare is a relative term, I garden like you do, leaving stalks through the winter to trap leaves and snow. We also get a lot of wind. I have daffys about to bloom in another week or so on the sunny side of the house, tulips, daylilies, crocus and iris reticulata standing where there was snow a week or two ago. Although the ground was frozen quite deeply before we got a good snow cover, the soil has been thawing while it was under several feet of snow, and that is the signal for roots to grow, sprouts to form, and everything to get ready to "spring" to life again. Spring is an amazing time of the year when we can see once again that the plants have not been totally asleep through the winter.
