Dutson FILLMORE by STELLA DAY How many other people are staying in the house today because it is too cold to work in the garden? I am one of them, but there is a good reason. Even though 1 have had to dress extra warmly, I have been going out to work simply because my iris and roses are full of 1 get them grass and just cant do their best until cultivated. However, I like many other people, suffer from arthritis. As some of you know I had my right leg operated upon and have a plastic hip. The right knee had to be straightened in order to be in line with the hip. My body did not accept the plastic hip, therefore I have to use a cane. A cane is a real handicap for a gardener. However, I manage to use any tool with a long handle as a cane. Therefore, I still garden. I was trained as a gardener by my grandmother Hanson with whom I stayed much of the time, since she only had one daughter, my mother. She then had five boys, all of them with healthy appetites, and she needed help to keep them fed. She loved to garden and she really taught me to love gardening as much as many people love to play golf. All of this long, cold winter I have been looking forward to getting out in the garden. I have snowdrops which bloom in February, and even though we had snow every other day, those dear little plants bloomed. Then we would get four more inches of snow, but still every time the sun came out there were those darling little snowdrops smiling in the snow. I thought surely by April we would have hundreds of flowers in blossom, but in my long life I have never seen all of the flowers freeze in April before. Did you ever see such a Spring! To me April is a favorite month since we have had months of cold weather with no flowers, but April comes and hundreds of blooms deck the countryside. Besides the flowers in our flower gardens: snowdrops, riolets, grape hyacinths, tulips, chionodoxa, daffodils, narcissus, scillas, hyacinths, winter aconite, jonquils, and crocus, we have hundreds of flowering shrubs and flowering fruit trees. The earth is really the most colorful at this time of year than at any other one time. But this April well that is another story. The flowers blossomed, but what good did it do? Just as soon as another flower blossomed, down came the snow and the wind blew until we wondered if our roofs would still be on by morning. It isnt just one part of the country, when the fruit even freezes in Florida, it is a disaster. AH of the people like myself, who suffer with arthritis, have been looking forward to April thinking that spring will surely be here, and we can get out in the nice warm sunshine and enjoy our gardens. Sure enough aU of my hundreds of daffodils, marcissus, and grape hyacinths bloomed and I was just, enjoying getting the grass from among my iris in order that they can bloom in aU or their array of color. You know that iris have the longest array of color of any other plant, and iris are the favorite flower of thousands of people who belong to the American Iris Society. If this weather keeps up the iris will freeze like the daffodils have done. I never remember in my long lifetime of daffodils, when even the hardy early double vaieties froze and did not stand up again. I had planted some new varieties, but they aU froze except two new double varieties which I planted on the east side of my house and the warmth of the house saved them. I have a chrysanthemum shelter built there which helps to protect them. We cant even get our gardens planted as the seeds just lie there and refuse to sprout, as the ground is so cold they know they will get frozen if they get above ground. We have aU been rejoycing over the big snowstorms we Lave had assuring us of plenty of water for our fruit and gardens and now the fruit is gone and the gardens waiting to be planted. Young people are more tolerant, as they know they have years ahead of them. But when one is past ninety years old, each year is precious and we want to get the most enjoyment possible out of each day. I am hoping this weather wUl cooperate and the rest of what is left of spring wiU be most perfect. Do you agree? If you really dont care, please change your mind and care so much that all of us together may have some real influence in bringing the most wonderful May, and all the rest of the year, that it will help us forget 1982 so far. Dont I have the sweetest disposition?
