In what is becoming an annual tradition, I'm recording the first crocus bloom of the year. I noticed this on Monday. It's roughly the same time the first one appeared last year, and a month earlier than the first crocus of 2015.
It would be nice if this weather stuck around, but I'm sure we'll have freezing rain, hail, and diving temps again during a fickle spring. I'm also worried about the pest population this year, as it hasn't really been cold enough to kill the bad guys.
Congratulations on the first crocus sighting Here in NC it's been in the 70s and I've just had to spray off some aphids on the daylilies. I'm wondering if this is it and spring is here or if it's just another one of nature's jokes.
ReplyDeleteWe're about to have a thunderstorm with hail, and then a low of 38 tonight, so it's a joke up here. Hope you have better luck!
DeleteI'm envious! Despite temps in the 60's a couple of days this week, parts of my garden are still under quite a bit of snow. Sometimes it's hard to believe I still live in CT :).
ReplyDeleteOh, but the show you'll have in another month or two!
