I've always wondered what Blackthorn Winter meant. Here we have Blackberry Winter. Another name for the same thing, obviously. And you are right about "the smell of rising greenery". There's nothing else like it in the year. Such anticipation. But, I must hold off in planting. I've been blindsided by a late frost too many times!!

Our weather is too cold too long for such a variety, but we enjoy those passing through and those that stay. Hope you were able to dig up the roots of those perennial grasses.
