A fool for the green
by Ellen Rocco on April 1st, 2013
Like a blood hound on the trail of a missing person, my eyes are fixed on the ground at this time of year searching for the first signs of new green. My husband claims there will be new grass in a week or two. We disagree. I’m less optimistic, unless we have some really warm rain. However, these day lilies alongside the road are showing official new and green growth, as are many bulb based plants (no doubt some of you are already seeing daffodils and garlic putting out those first green bits).
Tell me about it. I really am a fool for new green in spring. What’s showing green in your neck of the world?

Saw my first daffodil yesterday, but alas, it was in Boston.
