My Willows are leafing out like crazy, this bulb and that bulb are sprouting, various other things are coming to life. But be careful, we have 2 - 3 day's of freezing temps ahead this week. I don't think that will be the last this year.gardenvt wrote:It has to be spring - the maple trees are running, the leaf buds are on the trees, the days are longer and my tarragon is coming up.

It's early spring.
I'm assuming, from your name, that you are in Vermont, as am I. Up here in Milton we've had many days this month where it was pleasantly sunny but with a NW or NNW wind, cold as a witches heart. Yesterday it was low teens in the morning, only made it to 33° for a high. It was warmer his morning, 22° but the wind is NNW gusting to 32. Ground that had bared off and started to thaw has been frozen for the past week. When the sun shines the surface will thaw by mid-afternoon but then it freezes rock hard overnight. Where snow drifted the ground is still snow covered. This year is proving that the first day of spring cannot be considered the first spring day.gardenvt wrote:It has to be spring - the maple trees are running, the leaf buds are on the trees, the days are longer and my tarragon is coming up.
