Spring is Here; Bring It On Mother Nature!

Woodland spring in Illinois, Mother Nature

Sometimes winter seems like it will never end. It is late April and here in Chicagoland zone 5b I am still waiting buds on most of the trees. The wooded areas in the forest preserves look like the above photo. Spare. Wintery. Naked. A canvas awaiting Mother Nature’s paint brush.

My brain is stuffed with vegetable garden ideas, but at 36 degrees, it is still too cold to plant the majority of the garden. I want to shout, “C’MONNNNN! Bring it on Mother Nature!”

This morning it is raining and gray as well as cold. I am reminded that “April showers bring May flowers” and sit at the window in anticipation of my garden exploding in living color.

You too?

  1. I've been ready to get outside and plant but I'm also in Chicago and it's been way too cold.

    So, my windowsills are full of seedlings and eager plant-lings ready to get started.

    PS. I bought a Burning Bush last year and it appeared to have dies last winter. Now, I think there are some buds. Could it be possible? I'm holding out hope.
