With the recent warm temperatures, my plants are acting hulk-like; today, I noticed new growth of hostas and platycodon already up. (This is in my Gettysburg garden, but still -- in March??) I enjoyed the biochemical explanations for spring fever. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850578816787718159.post-3324125729131683212012-03-22T18:54:47.174-04:002012-03-22T18:54:47.174-04:00Dear Thomas, your writing is stellar.

But, I daresay some of my greatest moments of design clarity come at 4am. <br />The forsythia is blooming here in Minnesota earlier than ever and it is hard not to jump the gun and want to get started. Alas, last frost is still 6 weeks away! At least that means I have 6 more weeks to plot and scheme about what I want to get done in the yard this summer.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547423733305841662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850578816787718159.post-64985659687248615372012-03-22T11:05:04.918-04:002012-03-22T11:05:04.918-04:00Mario,

And YES, the depression over how the garden looks now is defintiely a part of it.

I write this bleary eyed after a terrible night of sleep, due to the fact that I was lying in bed planning gardens in my head at 3 a.m. I have yet to get up and start digging at 3 a.m., but have been known to try to do it at 6 a.m. The only problem is that this year, with the mild winter, we didn't get our adequate season of hibernation!Brookemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823753619126749905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850578816787718159.post-72185035771973337092012-03-22T08:05:56.143-04:002012-03-22T08:05:56.143-04:00Thomas, what a wonderful post, - I reflect on ever...Thomas, what a wonderful post, - I reflect on every word, describing "the symptoms" and happy with the final diagnosis.

That...So we are not crazy...it is all scientific! <br /><br />That's good to know as I get over taken in a similar way. However, before I get that real burst of energy, I must go through a somewhat depressed state due to how terrible everything looks after the winter.<br /><br />Once that is all taken care of (and it usually takes awhile since I discover this long before it can be addressed), then I can go forth with my obsessive behavior.<br /><br />Very enjoyable post.Susan Schlengerhttp://www.landscape-design-advice.com/front-yard-landscaping-ideas.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
