It was still quite dark. It is actually snowing here - big, beautiful flakes, but how I would love to see primrose and hellebores blooming in my garden! How exciting. I am a long way from Spring but glad I stopped in to catch a little fever. Of course, your gardens look great! I love Kale and noticed yesterday mine is still green in the potager!
