Morning everyone. Snowing like crazy and very windy. Feels like the last blast in March, we hope so. Daffodil greens are up and iris starting too (west Michigan). I don’t start indoor seeds til the beginning of April. I did bring in my begonias they had started to sprout in the closet. I am working on a green arrangement for Easter I will post when done. Need to dig some moss first. Many THANKS to Diana for keeping these threads going. I feel each year they become more important as it seems so many more are gardening. Our garlic has been growing through the winter, love to see the greens up through the snow. I’ll know pretty soon if my parsley experiment worked. Left a big patch in the ground. It still looks green and I hope it starts growing when it warms up. We have some forsythia down by the driveway entrance. I may just cut a few branches, it’s been awhile.
If the adage 3 snows after the forsythia bloom is true, then it will likely be another month (or two!) before we get finished with freezing temps here (central Indiana). I don’t have forsythia, but my neighbor does, and so far, I don’t even see any green on it. Maybe by next week?
It snowed lightly here last night. The daffodils had already started opening, so those that did are in bad shape now. We have decided to take down the Bradford pear tree in the front yard. My husband says it’s a nuisance when he mows, and while the blossoms are pretty, they smell horrible. Came with the house. We have since learned that they are considered invasive, so it’s go time once we get a few higher temps.
