It's almost time!

19 years ago

Lancifolia is showing signs of life!!! Have eyes about 3 inches! Something else showing signs of life: SLUGS.

Saw one crawling on my sidewalk. Time to get out the slug bait.

My hubbie also saw two snakes yesterday. Garter snakes, but I really prefer that they stay hidden.

SPRING IS HERE! (Until the next freeze....)

    Yea!!!!

    I have all kinds of tulips and perennials coming up and yes, I squished a slug baby...but my hostas are still sleeping...but, then again I have only cleaned up (removed the leaves and raked back the mulch from the crowns) from about 1/8 of the hosta beds, if that. I hope to get to that today when there is a break from the rain. It is supposed to get near 70 today here. I'm sure between the rain and warmer temps, I'll be seeing noses soon too!

    Yippeeeee!

    Same here, Char...rainy and warm for about the next week. I'm afraid the hostas are going to start waking up...it's WAY too early!!!

    Yep, things are popping here too. No expected freezes in sight, knock on wood!!

    Its supposed to warm up here next week as well (70's). I did a walk through of the gardens, and I had a lot of winter heave. I schleped through the mud and tried to replant the ones that were "trying to escape". I don't think they were damaged, because they hadn't started to bud, but only time will tell I guess.

    Not only is it time,but I have only about 10 hostas that are NOT up! Would believe it was 88 here today,with no rain? Way too hot too early! Phil

    Supposed to be 80 here tomorrow. Out last frost date is May 15-18, give or take, so you know we're getting more freezes... but nothing but warm weather for the next week. You know what's gonna happen...

    Supposed to be 75 degrees here today. Who would know that 3 weeks ago I had snow 30" deep in my yard? Warm weather and rain this week has me worried. We've been know to have frosts mid way through May!

    Rudbekia and campanula popping through. And annual pansies from last year are coming to life......strange.

    Nothing here yet but a few daffs and tulips near the house. No signs of any other plants yet. Since I KNOW we'll get freezing weather yet I hope they stay asleep for a while longer no matter how much I yearn for the sight of green.

    Wow, you guys are killing me!! The only things blooming are the snowdrops, my daffys are only sticking out of the ground about an inch so far. But considering that the threat of frost for this area is through Mother's day, I'm not going to complain.

    We always get a mid/late april snow here in northern ohio but it sure is nice outside now
