Spring surprise!

10 years ago

Hi all.

I've been waiting in anticipation for any kind of growth from my garden. I've got spring fever real bad. The last few days I finally noticed some growth, I have some daffodils come up and the surprise, my day lilies have come up. I was expecting my crocus to show up before any lily would. We've had a warmer winter this year, at least in my part of town. I'm in batavia OH. Z6b. What surprises did you guys get, if any?

I am a hundred or so miles north of you and have all my early spring bloomers going, but also hyacinths two weeks ahead of schedule. Seems like everything is early this year -- even the plants over wintered in the garage and basement (Anemones, tender agastache, amaryllis, dahlias) are growing gangbusters -- The agastache had 6-8 inches of new growth when I uncovered them, and the amaryllis have one foot tall flower buds already, although they hadn't yet been taken out of their dark corner and watered!
