Here in southwestern New York the weather was also in the high 70's a couple
days ago. Friday morning after the cold air returned, the garden looked
amazingly green. Each year we get the cold weather back and each year
everything seems to do fine in spite of the changing temps. Daffodils are
budded and tulip leaves are getting taller. Some primroses are blooming,
crocus are out in force, snowdrops made their debut over a week ago:
hollyhocks, iris, forget-me-nots, poppies and many others are starting to pop
up out of the ground too. Our forecast for today of freezing rain followed by
3-6" snow has not happened (yet) and that is marvelous.
