Watching the snow level diminish from Gisborn Mountain has been used for a planting gauge since I can remember.
After a long winter with heavy snow, waiting for this mountain to be free from the icy grip of our
unpredictable Northern winters, can be a test of endurance.
And to a gardner, there is nothing worse than having all the catalogs and flyers arrive, and then you look out your window and four feet of snow still layers atop the garden!
Your heart beats a little faster and all of a sudden you just
KNOW that Spring has to hurry up and get here!
What a patient soul... I couldn't wait that long!Lucky for me I don't have that beautifl view of Gisborn reminding me that I push the envelope and plant sooner than normal. What can I say I'm a risk taker ;-)
