Goodness!  You have had a bad winter.  Up here in Canada it was 16C  (about 65 degrees where you are?),  here yesterday and we are expecting it to be 18C, (close to 70), today.

We haven't been able to plant much because it has been too 'swampy' out there until this week, though.  My major spring activity has been trying to find signs that my perennials are surviving the deluge of moisture inflicted upon them this past winter.

My crocuses
('Pickwick,' the purple striped one) popped today.
My favorites were the new tricolor ones that I had forgotten I had planted last fall.  Yellow to white to lilac bands outward on the petals.  My star anemones are out along with my second hyacinth and the daffs are out in full force.  Also yellow eranthis, polyanthus scilla, and we still have a lot of the giant crocus.  I have been told that the early rhododendrons are out, too.

Our berries are leafing out and it looks like all the usual fuschias are coming back early.

And I still have bags of leaves from last year to dig into my squares before I plant. (panic time.)

HAPPY   SPRING   EVERYONE ! ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to sqft-unsubscribe@listbot.com Start Your Own FREE Email List at http://www.listbot.com/
