See-saw weather spells garden confusion
Winter has certainly come in fits and starts this year, beginning with the horrendous storm of Oct. 29. Since then, of course, we've had little snow until last week, though temperatures have see-sawed.
My confused garden doesn't know how to cope.
Several of the Lenten roses (helleborus orientalis) bloomed already, which means I won't see their pretty purple faces come April. Intermittent, sprightly Johnny-jump-ups appear sporadically in the front garden and then retreat. And the witch hazels, those that survived being flattened in the October onslaught, are in bloom right now.
The witch hazels we tend to grow nowadays are hybrids, not the old-fashioned ones known for the soothing lotion they produce in abundance. Witch hazels also were the source of dowsing branches, used by old-timers in faded overalls to search for hidden water. And the term "witch" hazel, you need to know, has nothing to do with Beelzebub and brimstone, but rather comes from the Old English word, wyche.
