Still Winter Here

29 degrees F here in central NY this morning with wind and snow showers. This is our second week like this, still wearing winter clothes and wishing we could see the crocuses again. Two weeks ago the crocuses were opening, the hellebores were lifting up out of the leaves, and the daffodils were budding. Now they're all covered with snow. Haven't seen a single trout lily yet. More later - Dusty Knees

Oh, how I just can't wait for Spring to really arrive! I want to plant a vegetable garden this year and have my children work with me in the garden! Your blogs left me feeling ready for the sunshine!

I wonder if you could tell me how to grow rhubarb ? When we first moved into this house 24 plus years ago, there was a patch of rhubarb in the back yard. That was until my more then eager and very helpful oldest son decided to help with the weeding of the yard and completely ripped the rhubarb out.
Currently my husband has started some seeds inside, a couple of different flower types and some watermellon and zucchini. At least most of the snow has left our yard and hopefully this weekend we can outside and work.
