For the third time in as many weeks , I will be presenting my lecture, “Get Ready! The Spring Garden ‘. Before  today it felt like it was going to snow until the end of time and just looking at the photos of my spring  gardens made me feel grumpy. But this morning I awoke  to birdsong followed quickly by the sun which will help warm us up into the 40’s. There may even be some snow melt  this afternoon! That is a cause for celebration if ever there was one.  .
