I leave the seed heads for the birds, and then later in winter I clear out the debris. I do enjoy some of the textures the debris provides.

I share your feelings about climate change and can only cope by not thinking about it too much and living as simply as I can on my high hill.Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328021870793697876.post-58265497878210519892012-01-15T11:43:36.136-08:002012-01-15T11:43:36.136-08:00Jenny x What a lovely comment!

I have a saraccoca but it is tiny, only 2 flowering stems as yet but I am optimistic.Like you I need to be out there, if only for a few minuits, to feel connected and soothed, I have seen winters like this before and am trying to see the good, things are surviving I thought I would lose(and still might)but it is what it is, the charm of gardening is dealing with 'what is' for the big picture, we do what we can.Keep writing, it is the highpoint of my week.jenny Xnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328021870793697876.post-42489006348505180302012-01-13T09:09:19.636-08:002012-01-13T09:09:19.636-08:00Caregiver, sorting out a lot of ferns sounds like ...Caregiver, sorting out a lot of ferns sounds like fun, I quite envy such a job.<br />Thanks for your comments, Hooray for Dylan!<br /><br />Jean, It's certainly a toxic combination, worry and helplessness.

Responding to climate change needs both individual actions (use less energy, waste less, reuse and recycle more) and political, group actions (lobby, send emails, talk to everyone, not just those who agree with you).

I do try to comfort myself by thinking about the plants that are not cold hardy here that I'll be able to grow when my garden is warmer. -Jeanjpotuchekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01948699202677839108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328021870793697876.post-65821202890678405152012-01-12T14:03:48.250-08:002012-01-12T14:03:48.250-08:00We have a lot of ferns in my backyard in the summe...We have a lot of ferns in my backyard in the summer. Thank you for this. It may help me to figure out what is going on back there. And use it to my advantage when planting this spring.
