It feels more like winter now than it did in December and
January. My new seedling took off during the 70 temps we had
a month ago but now everything has stopped growing. Lucky
the frost hasn't killed anything yet.

On the flip side, the hills look so pretty covered in green ;-)

It's freezing out there this evening! Pretty nippy today too. We had hail for about 1/2 hour yesterday and even some sleet (too wet for snow, although the tops of the foothills were white).
When the sun does come out, it's bright and warm.
I walked around the garden and cold or not, there's no stopping spring at this point. It's defintely coming!
I've got bulbs galore sprouting everywhere and early daffs and muscari in bloom. The Ceanothus are covered and the redbud is popping. Lots of poppies starting to bloom and buds on the citrus. The plants all look very happy.
Now....if it would just warm up!!!!!

Hi - after that false summer in February, I'm in shock with this cold weather. I was all ready to start putting out tomatoes! My daffodils seem to be lasting longer than usual and I'm wondering if the cool weather and rain is contributing to it. Nesturtiums have tons of leaves and some blooms but I think the cold is slowing them down.

One of my Brugs looks very seedy - is coming out with very small leaves.

The forecast says it'll remain cool all week!
