    Default Today I saw....

    Daffodils in bloom... The sping flowers are popping up everywhere!!! Just watch, we'll get a late freeze/snow, and all will be lost. Maybe that groundhog was only right for half 2/3 the country. Spring is on the way....

    Rhubarb is one of the first signs of spring around here. I may actually be able to put my cold-frame up and get some spinach, leaf lettuce and turnip greens growing by the end of the month. But an April snow storm is always a possibility.

    Any reports of spring are always welcome - because spring really is coming - sometimes the flowers are a tease, but spring will be here - just not soon enough for most!!

    We haven't seen the ground here in the metro for 50+ days. I am beginning to think spring is a myth.

    I keep on digging the plants I have in pots out of the snow. So far the parsley is still hanging in. Yes, parsley from last spring. The pansies are still in bloom also.

    I have crocuses blooming. My daffodils are still growing, but they are about 5 inches high. I can't wait until they bloom.

    Flowers in February? Not in NE Ohio. Maybe in 2 more months. You're very lucky. Enjoy them while the rest of us try to remember what dirt looks like.
