Spring is rampaging full force here now with daffodils blooming all over the place, a few early tulips, and forsythia ready to pop! I need to get my mower ready to go to get a head start on the trimming as soon as the winter downfall is gathered.
Northern Wisconsin still has plenty of ice on Lake Superior and the northern parts of Lake Michigan. In fact, there was an article today complaining that the barges couldn’t get through and the manufacturers were short of steel.
This afternoon will see temps of 62 degrees, but tomorrow will drop to the 40s again with rain predicted for Sunday night. Too early to plant, but a good time to get the winter downfall cleared so that we’re ready when the temps are more predictable.
You are at the time when it is really easy to be impatient, and have lots of spring fever. It used to catch me down here, and I’d wind up putting stuff out too soon.
My hyacinths have bloomed and are kinda dying down. Still have some tulips and daffodils, but those are beginning to get spent too.
So far the only thing that is out and into the ground is the potatoes, garlic, chives, and lavender. Everything else is either in starter cups or planting pots so they can be taken in or out as needed, but it shouldn’t be long now.
We too are knee deep in clean up after winter storms.
