Winter has finally let up; temps have been in the 60s this week, and the first hellebore blooms (always the white ones) opened today. Looking back at previous years posts confirmed that this is the latest they have ever bloomed, by a good 2 weeks. Wonder if the unusually cold winter delays their blooms?

I just discovered your blog, and it is delightful. I read the whole thing this week. I am planning to pepper you with gardening questions if you will put up with me, but I also have to laugh a little bit when you post about how cold it is here. I’ve only lived in Durham since the summer of 2007, but I guess I still just can’t consider any season where I can garden at all “cold.”
Thanks for reading, Elizabeth. Ask away, but I’m no expert. I just grow things that are impossible to kill, and it makes my non-gardening friends think I know what I’m doing.
