It’s getting warmer and it’s showing more greenery out there, but it’s looking a little like collards are not the sort of plants that consider a foot of snow good protection against winter. I haven’t seen them since I managed to cut a potful of leaves for greens on New Year’s Day. Now, I wonder if they’ll offer that batch of spring greens I was hoping for.
Other plants are doing much better. These alpine strawberries, for instance, look almost unaffected since last time we saw them. And, no, that picture is not upside down. That’s how they’re growing. In the snow. They’re alpines, you know. They can do that.
