As the snow continues to fall it was wishful thinking on my part hoping that it would be just a few weeks before we would see new life in the garden. The one good thing is that there is a deep layer of insulation now on my flower beds.
I am trying very hard to keep positive. Each day I bundle myself up in my snow gear and walk where possible through Fintry Provincial Park.
Even the birds seem to be struggling and puff themselves up against the cold winds. I continue to console myself by buying forced bulbs and just recently started purchasing some seeds.
I picked up a packet of Potentilla seeds (Fireball mix). Apparently it is an easy to grow perennial and is double flowering. It is suitable either for a mid border plant or it works well in a rock garden. I shall be very interested to see how it performs. I like the idea too that it is good for cut flowers.
