2014 New Growth
Let the Clean-up Begin
After one of the longest and coldest winters experienced here in the northeast, we are finally experiencing many more scattered days filled with bright sunshine and holding temperatures in the 60s. People are smiling a little more brightly and the trees have begun their return from dormancy.
The weekends are occupied by homeowner's who either find the yearly spring clean-up daunting or others such as myself, who embrace the chore as a sign of the 4 beautiful months ahead where we get to enjoy general gardening, vegetable growing, swimming and beaching, sunning and an overall period of enhanced outdoor living. This is the time of year northeasterners generally snap out of their malaise and once again come alive.
The warmth and light of the past week has beckoned perennials to show their faces and evergreens and trees have sprouted new growth and buds. As it generally happens in the first week the growth seems minuscule and slow and then upon the second week (even though this happens every year from the beginning of time) the rapidness of growth is always eye-catching and something worthy of passerby's conversation.
Here are the plants that I have been documenting for the past 3 years in their spring awakening. While not in full glory, their is something I find so special about this inevitable process that nature has perfected.
Let the planting season begin!
