My City Garden: It's not just me

It's not just me

I've been feeling like this winter is just not ending! It continues to be chilly and gray day after day. I've only just started to see crocuses, and barely a daffodil has poked its head up. So is it just me, or is it really chillier this year? I went through my garden journal and this is what I read:

3/31/07 - "Another spring begins! It's a bit chilly today, around 55 degrees..."
3/4/08 - "60+ degrees today - cloudy, but still great to walk around in!"
3/7/09 - "60+ degrees today - just what I needed to get rid of the winter blues..."
3/19/10 - "75-ish and sunny - beautiful day!"
3/19/11 - "Beautiful day! About 55 degrees and sunny."
3/7/12 - "Amazingly beautiful day! 61 degrees and sunny."

This year's entry? Probably some sort of expletives about the following:

One of my friends posted on Facebook this morning that whoever left the door open to Canada needs to shut it NOW. I'd be more inclined to slam it.

Sue - I love this phrase and am borrowing it. I thought of slamming the door shut during my run this morning when it was snowing again. Ugh.

About Me

Hi, I'm Kathryn. I garden in Zone 7a in Philadelphia, PA, where I'm trying to make my enormous perennial garden dreams happen on a tiny city lot.

Before 2012, I used this space to keep track of photos of my garden while maintaining a handwritten journal. Since 2012, I've been using it as that but also as a garden blog. You'll be able to tell the difference in posts.

Also in 2012, my back and side yards underwent a total transformation. I found out I'd been planting on someone else's property (it wasn't really mine) for 7 years. New homes went up and half of my garden was ripped out. I had to start all over.
