Good morning! Living in CT, and New England in general, a bit behind, but when I start to see the first robins, then I will KNOW spring will be here.

Interesting, saw my first robin Yesterday. They return really early here I guess so they can prepare their nests before the Spring blizzard season starts. May 15 in theory is the last chance frost day. After that, it is safe to plant outside. Even that date has become variable based on what Spring is like. So we are looking at two and one half months of further interesting weather. The real hope, is that we don’t get a too warm spring where the trees leaf out before the blizzards hit. That can be a tree disaster.

Good morning all. Spring is late here in middle TN. We usually have the wild daffodil blooming sometime between Jan 30 and Feb 26 (two special days for our family). In 24 years they have only missed those dates once.... until this year. No blooms yet!

It is supposed to be nice this weekend, so I hope to get some cleaning up done in the garden. The sunshine gives me hope for spring!

I’m well northeast of you, and I saw robins 4 or 5 weeks ago...and plenty of them. I knew right then and there that the groundhog was full of sh**.
