Early blooms



It looks like we are skipping spring and going straight to summer. The first so called day of spring was 75 degrees. Tomorrow it will be in the 80s! Because of the warm February and March this year, everything is coming up early.

Crocus are always the first bulbs to bloom. These crocus have been blooming for almost three weeks. Last year, the mini daffodils bloomed the first week in April, three weeks later than this year.

Just like 2010, I think we're going to have an early year for planting and harvesting crops. That means keeping an eye on the weather to make sure we don't get a surprise frost and getting going on the load of outdoor projects that need to be done.
