Well, here are my "Rare Yellow Crocus" and they are as green as can be! Whew! What a relief! As you might remember they had been covered with a mat of leaves left over from the Fall, and when the leaves were cleared away, the shoots were yellow. I was not sure they were going to be OK. Joan asked to see them in a few weeks, and here they are! Green as can be! I promise to be more conscientious next Fall and get the leaves cleaned out of the gardens!

What a delightful sight to see all the Crocus coming up! Lovely bright green and purple.
Lately, gardeners are suggesting that you should rake some leaves into your garden beds to cover the soil and protect the plants. Betsey
What a fascinating idea. Leaves to protect the plants during the winter, sort of as insulation. Yeah, THAT'S what we did! That's why we didn't rake the leaves out of the garden!
Happy to see that they are green and starting to bloom. Joan
