Winter is Dead
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
"Winter is dead."

2018 -- Let's get this party started with some clove currant!
Hello and a belated happy 2018 to all you cheerful chipmunks out there! 🐹
Sorry for the radio silence recently. The garden was relatively dormant. The weather was chilly and/or windy and/or rainy. And I had a busted camera that kept me from documenting the winter landscape.
(Don't worry... you didn't miss much.)
So now I'm back with a new and improved camera in hand.
So come along for the ride. I've got a feeling this will be the Best Year Ever for the Garden of Aaron.
To kick things off...

| You've gotta love clove currant (Ribes aureum) leafing out in mid-February! This is reliably the first deciduous plant to leaf out in my garden. And are these copper-tinged new leaves beauties or what! |

Stay tuned... in a couple of weeks, clove currant will probably look like this.
