Crummy weather

9 years ago

I'm pretty sure my weather experience is not unique, so I guess I'm just whining and expressing my disappointment.

February was VERY spring like, and everything took off like it was April. Then March came along, and was very winter like. All my daylilies started to grow and now some are showing distinct signs of frostbite. Others, though, seem completely undisturbed by the cold weather. Go figure.

Our daffodils were completely unphased by the cold, as were our peonies. I am astonished at how the peonies grew, warm or cold!

The biggest victim of the cold has been our PJM rhododendron. Just like the cherry trees around the DC tidal basin, ours started to bloom then fell victim to the cold. The cherry trees lost half their blossoms; our PJM lost at least that many, and maybe more. What flowers are left are fully open now, but a fraction of the usual number.
