The best woodland plants often come into their own in spring. Light falls through branches that haven’t yet come into leaf, bathing the plants below in a golden glow. The show begins with snowdrops and aconites and transforms week by week, with primroses, forget-me-nots and wood anemones blooming in a non-stop carpet of colour.

Master Gardeners Offer Tips As People Plant Pandemic Patches via Urban Organic Gardener
Today we’re visiting Deborah McQuiston’s garden and sharing some photos she took in the beginning of October.
I live in northeastern Pennsylvania, in the Pocono Mountains, Zone 5b.
Our house was built in 2012, so I started with nothing: half an acre, nothing in the middle, surrounded by more than 200 deciduous trees. Challenges are the ever present deer, our short growing season in Zone 5, and gardening on a slope in the rear of the house.
It’s still a work in progress: hardscaping is done by landscaping professionals, but all 400+ perennials and shrubs have been planted by this 60-something!

A scene from the Orto Botanico in the Brera district of Milan
This was taken during my second visit to the botanic garden during our trip to Milan last September. I was on my own for the day and wanted to take some more photos. The mosquitos were ferocious, but I got some cool shots.
