First day of spring and its blowing and snowing. I spent some time in the garage painting beehives. I did go look at the garden and saw a few garlic coming up.

IMO spring arrived here around mid feb. It'll be close to 90 in the coming days. By the time cold fronts get down here they're is nothing left of them....just a wind shift.

I always wait for my pecan trees to bud and that happened today.

well I'm not sure what is going on around here, we had 2-3 weeks of warm (almost hot) weather and now it's back to freezing, I had to cover my plants again because we are getting way too much rain and I don't want them to drown. yesterday I had to puncture larger holes into some of my containers because the water wasn't draining. I'm not complaining, I love the rain!!!

This morning four inches of fresh snow, and its still coming. I need to go prune the orchard, but would like some better weather for the job.

My birthday is the first day of spring and I can tell you Spring has not sprung quite yet.

This is going to a year of slow starts for most of us I fear.

Slow starts hmph. All you spoiled "long season" people.

I can't plant out for at LEAST another month, and that's only peas and brassicas. The rest can't/won't go until Memorial Day!
But yep, we have thunder sleet here as we speak. First it rained, then it snowed, and now it sounds a bit like hail hitting the windows. -sigh- I am ready for spring!
