At least one Middletown gardener has confidence that Spring is here.
This weekend I saw crocuses in bloom, and a pair of robins, but when I saw this intrepid gardener planting pansies near her walk on Washington Street, I knew I no longer had Winter to fear.
One of the advantages of living in an urban environment is that the wealth (?) of concrete and blacktop acts as a heat sink, and mitigates the effects of the cold allowing plants along South facing walls and walks to bloom earlier than their country cousins.
