More Signs of Spring

It almost feels like spring today. I saw my first daffodil in bloom last week in Central Park—it’s never really spring until I see a daffodil or two.
I often cut through the park to get to the East Side and I had a feeling I might find a daffodil in bloom, so I made sure to bring my camera. (I had to climb behind a couple of canoodlers to get close enough for a shot of these.)
And I came across a lovely bed of hellebores at the southern end of the long walkway leading to the Bethesda Fountain (my favorite spot in the park).
A little closer (sorry, snow fence around the whole bed).
Back in my own garden, I’ve suddenly got tons of snowdrops coming up.

Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.
