Yeah I have tried cheating old man winter. Planted in late January then got a freeze and it killed everything.
I am seeing Orioles and Cardinals even though we are in freezing temps. That is a sign that we are in our last cold snap.
We have Cardinals year round in Indiana, but the Orioles come in May.
I wish that we were in our last cold snap. That won’t happen until late April, early May around here.
I have Cardinals all Winter but the Orioles and the Red Breasted Grossbeak are the harbingers of SPRING up here in the SW corner of Wisconsin.
I can’t wait! :)
