Fall still has some blooms and the trees upstage the flowers with their great show. Now the leaves are falling and the fall flowers have frozen. Time for something colorful to cheer up the dull, gray days. How about Camellias and pansies? The name “pansy” seems to be something of an oxymoron. That was the name applied to anyone who was just a little bit wimpy when I was a kid.
Pansies are not “pansies”. Their blooms shine out in the snow. They are one of the few bright colors all winter. They don’t die until summer.
There is still plenty of green stuff in the garden too. Collards, turnips, arugula, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, mesclun, spinach, radishes and onions are not just green; they are producing food.
This weekend saw camellias and pansies go in the ground and leaves come off of the ground. Today will see the publication of “The Thomas St. Cookbook”. More about that in the next post.
