    Nice enough to be working out outside in the flower beds. Which is so surprising for this time of the year for our area. Keep this up will have to mow the yard. I am loving it.

    Spring? What is that? Not here yet, by a long shot. But then again, I live in Kevin’s neck of the woods (i.e. upper Hudson Valley). The moment it is possible to get out and start clearing u the garden, that is where I will be. In the meantime, my kitchen colors are green and white, so a green KitchenAid mixer would be perfect since the one I inherited from my grandmother-in-law (a 1928 model) has decided to stop working….

    What a beautiful mixer! I’ve always wanted a KitchenAid. In Ohio we’ve had an extremely light winter. Today it’s about 25 degrees and tomorrow is supposed to be nearly 50! My daffodils are just popping out of the ground, but we’re sure to get a couple more snows before we see a real Spring!

    Spring? We’re just experiencing winter here in the Deep South. This past week has felt like a sweat-a-thon, until this morning. I was so excited to wake up to an outside temp of 45. I just wish we could hang onto it a little longer.

    In Bernalillo, NM, we are currently without snow. Lots of other areas in NM have it though. We are at 5,700′ above sea level here. Once you get past 7,000, there is plenty of snow. Taos and the other ski areas are still going strong. We have rain and snow in the forecast for the weekend. Sunday will be the best chance of snow. We had no idea when we moved here, how much snow that we would get in NM!

    Hi Kevin, I thought spring has sprung in my neck of the woods but it quickly changed its mind and we still get hard frost overnight. I’ve been ready for spring planting but I guess I’d have to wait till March from the looks of it. Thank you for hosting a fantastic giveaway. Regards, From BC, Canada.

    Mary says

    February 22, 2020 at 7:51 am

    We’re up and down here in west Michigan. It’s predicted to be in the 40’s today and up to 46 by Monday. Then back down with snow for next week. So we have spring one day and winter the next. Sort of the way it’s been all winter.

    In Tennessee it is hard to say exactly when winter is over and spring begins.
    We are currently snowless but next week the forecasted high on Tuesday is 63 and on Thursday the high is expected to be 39.

    The driveway is a sheet of ice and the lawn is covered with snow except for the one foot right up against the house, a heat sink where the sun shines and melts the snow soonest. In this exact location I have some winter aconites on the verge of blooming. Showing yellow but not erect.

    It has been a strange winter. From below zero to 40+ within a day. Not much snow but lots of ice because we had freezing rain a couple of times followed by snow and sleet. Spring is nowhere in sight though there were reports of Maple syrup running.

    Winter never really came. We did have a bit of frost before the day heated up to 60 degrees today. The trees have already started sprouting leaves, and the great horned owls are hooting away each night. Love is in the air.

    Well, first it was spring weather with buds trying to bloom. Then we had a lovely snow fall and it got cold but now it is warming up again and the snow has mostly melted. Welcome to central NC! Never know what is going to happen.

    Hints of spring this weekend in Maine with temperatures in the 40s, but still a lot of snow and ice to melt. And of course we’ll be getting more snow. We always do, right into April.

    Spring arrived right on schedule earlier this month, here on California’s Central Coast. All the ornamental plums and deciduous magnolias are in full bloom and the birds are singing on territory, with the hummingbirds already on nests. Beautiful balmy temps but we badly need rain so keeping fingers crossed…

    Here in south Louisiana the trees are in full spring bud, the temps are very moderate, the geese fly northward overhead in the early mornings, and my begonias are about ready to come out of their temporary winter shelter. Spring is definitely here.

    In bloom now here on the Florida panhandle are my redbuds, camellias, Chickasaw plum, viburnums, Magnolia x ‘Jane’ and some lovely daffodils. We’ll probably get another frost or two, but the sunshine is here to stay.

    Johanna says

    February 23, 2020 at 8:55 am

    After a dismal winter with no snow, I hang on to the hope of at least one substantial snow storm. That being said, the crocus are blooming, the daffodils are pushing through, and two woodpeckers are competing (not sure if that is a spring thing, though).

    Thanks for the offer, Kevin!

Winter done or not, spring is coming slowly as the brunt of the frigid days are over!!! SW Pa. !

    I would say “still digging out from the latest snowfall”. In Salina, Ks it’s been a fairly mild winter, warm days enough to make us itch to dig in the dirt, but enough cold snowy days to keep the ground totally saturated or frozen. Right now the ground is wet but I have planted seeds that need a winter, put seeds out under cover in cold frames and have had many warm days to get garden projects done outside. Using your recipes to keep us warm on chilly nights.

    Winter apparently just got here. We had a temperature drop and a few inches of snow that is still hanging around after 3 days. Maybe the groundhog was right after all. 🙂

    In the Shenandoah Valley, cold, cold, cold nights this past week in the teens and twenties, but my witch hazel and Lenton roses are in bloom and the daffodils are poking out of the ground. I’m inside packing for a move to a new house, though, and dreaming of new gardens.

    My daffodils and hyacinths are in full bloom. My tomato seedlings (the pampered things) go outside for their daily “hardening off” while they await their big planting day.

    It’s been upsy-downsy here by the Delaware River in Central NJ—one day warm, one day freezing, then back again. Tiny tips of green poke out of the ground and halt there. My windowsills, though, are all abloom! So I’ll say not quite and I hope Spring brings more consistency for all the outdoor growing things!

    Hi Kevin,

    Well here in Charleston, SC, it goes from winter to spring to summer all in a 5-day span. It does get confusing on what to wear at times. I am going to miss winter though because come spring, summer, and fall that means yard work and with allergies and asthma I’d rather be in the kitchen baking.

    ‘Tho still lots of snow all around, the light lasts longer in the afternoons and the sounds of some birds are new to the air. Here in Central Vermont we will have to first get through mud season, probably in April, before a proper Spring arrives. Its arrival is a delight.

    Snowdrops and winter aconites are now just about finished here in Virginia and the daffodils are getting ready to bloom. The plum tree is putting out some blossom but I fear a frost will kill any hope of plums this year as it is too, too early.

    That is absolutely beautiful! Here in Wyoming it is still very much winter. We have been below zero several nights in the past week, have random snow flurries and small blizzards, and the wind has been absolutely crazy. A few weeks ago we set a record with a 97 mile an hour gust on Outer Drive. I-80, which is south of us, has been closed many times this year.

    Oh, unfortunately, we’re still digging out from winter (Southeast Idaho). It’ll be a couple months yet before we get to play in the dirt. Guess that means more inside time to play in the kitchen and sewing room!

    Here in the Cornwall, Ontario area, just across the St. Lawrence River from upstate New York, there’s still a couple of feet of snow, but the sun is stronger, the days are longer, the air is fresh, and the birds are singing so, to me, spring is certainly here 🙂

  346. 346

    Linda says

    February 23, 2020 at 10:07 am

    Here in middle TN it depends on the day and sometimes the hour. We had a great spring clean up at the YMCA garden and 2 days later it snowed! My winter sown milk jugs are on the south side of the house but the raised beds are in a sea of mud. Wait a week and we’ll see.

    still small chunks of dirty snow about, waiting for the plowed messes to melt, the bunnies are starting to hop across the road again, and the gardens – and I-are soaking up the four days of sun in a row, haven’t seen that for a while, it’s been grey up here in northern MA.

    Here in California’s Sierra Foothills, it IS spring! I returned home from a trip to find my 100’s of daffodils happily beaming at the sun. It began with a shoe box of bulbs sent from Virginia in the 1960’s to my now 96 year old friend. She has us thin her plot and shared the joy! I wll be green with envy of whomever gets the mixer…

    February 23, 2020 at 10:29 am

    We’ve had a few days here in the Pacific Northwest that have been sunny and warm enough to venture out into the blackberry thickets in an attempt to control their dominance. Oh, who am i kidding? I haven’t been out of winter hibernation long enough to tackle a job of that magnitude. But i did get two spring-bulb-beds weeded, so that’s something.

    Here’s to a great new year, and let’s hope 2020 is a return to collective sanity for us all!

    I live in Mahopac, NY and the weather today is gorgeous. It will reach 53 today. I was lazy at the end of the season and left my outdoor containers with the roots to my Geraniums. I am getting ready to go out in my garden and clean up all the pots. This will make it easier for me to plant new plants in the Spring which I hope is not too far away.
    PS: I started my winter sowing at the beginning of February. You got me started on this last year.

    Considering I reside in the great white north of Ontario, Canada, spring will be a wee bit longer in arriving. Of course, that has not stopped me from buying too many seeds and starting my hot peppers under grow lights. Would love another diversion in the form of a lovely green mixer for a bit of baking. Thanks Kevin!

My coral honeysuckle is budding and getting ready for the hummingbirds. Time to get my feeders dusted off in case I have early visitors passing through.
    Thanks for all you do. You bring joy to so many.

    Not digging out from snow, we barely got any. Spring isn’t here either, very cold today. But garden catalogs all over the place, cold seeds started as well as some winter sowing. And big plans in my head, will see how many get to the garden. But perfect time to bake, would love that green mixer.

    Here in Saskatchewan, the sun is shining, the days are getting longer, and we are finally confident that spring will come, even though we still have snow on the ground!

    Plenty of snow at our 1900 elevation zone 5b house, but snowdrops just started blooming in downtown Ithaca nearby. I’m getting ready to sprout ginger and turmeric to grow for the first time!

    We have had a mild winter here in Topeka, Kansas area… for the last two weeks the robins have been poking around the lawn… spring is coming….

  412. 412

    Nancy says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:01 am

    Spring is kind of relative here in Houston. We’ve had enough unusually warm weather during what we call “winter” here to confuse the local vegetation, so it’s sort of here.

  413. 413

    Monica Phillips says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:03 am

    The flowers are blooming and trees have buds but here in the foothills of North Carolina we can still we some ice or snow. Today is sunny with highs in the 50’s and tonight lows in the 20’s.

  414. 414

    BJ Foster says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:03 am

    Mrs. Groundhog saw her shadow, so six more weeks of winter. It had been weeks and weeks of clouds at sunrise before and after “Imbolc”, let’s call it, that is, Groundhog Day, how do it know? Pretty sunny sunrise today, howsoever cold.

    Sheila Aukerman says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:07 am

    The crocuses are out here in Westminster, MD. My “Penny Pink” Helleborus are providing lots of cheer in my garden. It’s in the 50’s today & the sun is bright. I am feeling thankful!

    Lynne Lillie says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:10 am

    Spring is in it’s taunting stage here in deep east Texas, temps bouncing from a low of 29 two nights ago to 70 yesterday! So anxious to start planting, but will wait for the pecan trees to bud out.

  423. 423

    Mary Beierle says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:12 am

    Snowed here in East Tennessee last week and more snow coming this week. Not much though. Daffodils are blooming and trees are budding. Spring is just around the corner.

  424. 424

    Linda Bingham says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:13 am

    We haven’t really had a winter this year. The entire month of February has been dry, not a raindrop in sight, with daytime temperatures in the high 60’s to low 70’s. The spring trees are beginning to bloom & the daffodils are blooming profusely.

  425. 425

    Sheila says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:13 am

    Spring is here very early in England on the Sussex coast – there are daffodils everywhere.
    ‘……. In vacant or in pensive mood,
    they flash upon that inward eye
    which is the bliss of solitude,
    and then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils’. (Wordsworth)

    Kevin, I live in Palm Springs, CA where it’s spring October-April & hell May-September. Unfortunately, we don’t have the beautiful green foliage that the rest of the country gets. But the desert has its own beauty.

    Jeannine says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:33 am

    Cindy S. says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:35 am

    It’s been a pretty mild winter. I’m hopeful for an early spring, but it isn’t here yet. We are having a tease of warmer temps though. Lots of spring planting planned when we are safely past freeze threat.

  451. 451

    Diane says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:35 am

    In North Texas I have had daffodils for about a month and have the larger ones still coming. A few iris and some azalea flowers but not much else.

    Fritz says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:40 am

    It feels tantalizingly like Spring today in the East Village, lower Manhattan—brilliant sun, 50 degrees—and snowdrops are nodding in the pocket gardens. But it is just a preview. I think grimmer temps are on the menu this coming week. I’m getting out into the light while I can!

    Spring has definitely arrived here in Sonoma, CA…in fact I have already had to water my newly planted trees and shrubs. Hoping for rain before the official dry season begins! I’m entering this contest for my daughter who is a fabulous baker but so far has to do everything by hand. Thanks Kevin!

  463. 463

    Jan Beier says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:45 am

    Kevin-we’ve had a few cold days, and even had a few snowflakes spit at us one morning, but we are still having warm enough days where the daffodils and plum trees are blooming. Hope we don’t have a March blizzard like we did a few years back!!!

  464. 464

    Carmen Tucker says

    February 23, 2020 at 11:51 am

    Good morning! And yes— Spring sure feels as tho it’s arrived here in Southern California! (Did it ever leave??). I’ve got camellias, petunias, calla lily, and roses in bloom, and my clivia has woken and pushing up at least 8 flower stalks! Bees are happy with all the lavender and rosemary blooms and humming birds are feasting on cape honeysuckle!

  486. 486

    Robert Meehan says

    February 23, 2020 at 12:05 pm

    Well we just had the biggest (and only) snowfall of the winter. A devastating 3/4 inch!! Here on the Eastern Shore of VA we have Crocus up and almost done, Daffodils coming on, Hyacinths just forming flowers, Forsythia beginning to bud and the Willows and Pear trees showing the first buds. Been a very mild winter…again.

    Mariah McNail says

    February 23, 2020 at 12:09 pm

  494. 494

    Ginger says

    February 23, 2020 at 12:10 pm

    There is light snow falling in Calgary but the weather here is so variable we could start to see the first crocus in a few weeks. The nights are not as cold and the sun is feeling a bit warmer. Thankfully the days are noticeably longer. Spring is still a hope and a dream.

    Here in “Famously Hot” Columbia, SC daffodils are in bloom as are ornamental cherry trees, Tulip magnolias, ‘Spring’ Vibernum, Lorapetalum, clover, hen bit (and other cool season weeds). It has been a historically wet winter. Looking forward to warmer temperatures!

    Here in Port Moody, BC we’ve got crocuses blooming and thick buds in the hydrangeas. Spent all yesterday doing the annual clean up in a section of garden, getting ready for all the plants that about to spring into action!

    January and February are our biggest snow months here in northern Virginia, but although we’ve had some wicked cold snaps, February is nearly over and we have no snow yet! On the positive side, daffodils are about a foot high and have a few buds. On the negative side, tree pollen is giving early headaches to allergy sufferers.

    It’s been an ‘easy’ winter here in Philadelphia with only a one-time sprinkling of snow so far. The snowdrops are up, the forsythia is budding, and the daffs are breaking ground. March is unpredictable here, though! – we still may get that snowstorm.

    We still have around 2′ of snow, but it is supposed to be in the upper 30’s all week so hopefully it will melt FAST! As soon as I saw your email today I immediately thought of your Tomato Pie recipe! What I wouldn’t do for a couple garden fresh tomatoes right now! And some of my Garlic stash is starting to sprout! 🙁
    Take care Kevin, spring is on the way! 🙂

    Still cold and snow on tne ground here in Michigan, as it should be this time of year! I try to relish each season as it comes. I learned from a wise Scandinavian, there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing, so this time of year, its long John’s and thermal shirts, wool scarves and Uggs.

    Flocks of robins showed up here in Oregon this week. It’s been a mild winter, and less rainy than usual, but I’m looking forward to spring.

    Every spring I think of this old rhyme I heard on tv as a kid.

    Spring has sprung
    The grass is grown
    The birds are on the wing
    My my how absurd
    I thought the wings
    Were on the bird

    Thanks for the giveaway, Kevin. Happy Spring!

    It certainly does feel like Spring has arrived this weekend. Seems so early, but the nights are still in the 40s. Yesterday I planted Sweet Peas outdoors and I’m kind of excited about them. I started them indoors from seed awhile back. It’s my first experience with Sweet Peas. Right now I have the little seedlings all protected from the birds with screen until they get a bit bigger. These are special to me because they were seeds that my sister gave me from her Sweet Peas, which were her favorite flower. She passed away a couple of months ago and I’m happy to have the seeds from the plants she loved so much. Nice way to start (an early) Spring.

    Spent the afternoon cutting down grasses, and cleaning out beds. It’s been in the 50’s most of the winter, and bulbs are already 4 inches tall. Even daylilies and peonies are poking up. While we all enjoy the unseasonable weather, it is not a good thing.

    Unusual temperatures here in the Texas Hill Country…..One day its Spring, next day its Winter, but the spring grasses are coming up like every day is Spring. But when I think back on this phenomenon, Texas is always Winter one day, Spring the next, then it turns to Summer.

    Spring has come to Lexington, Virginia! Although some nights are below freezing, the forsythia has bloomed in sunny spots and the tulip magnolias have buds. We are enjoying days of 50 to 65 degree weather. Perfect for early gardening, hiking and bird watching.

    Spring has sprung in Gettysburg PA. Snowdrops, crocus and early Iris are blooming. The daffodils have fat buds and the hyacinth are peeping through the mulch.

    As pathetic as it may sound, it has actually been a little cold here, in Hawai’i. In the morning it has been in the low 60’s in my house. Try turning your thermostat down to that temp. No furnace here, but the toaster oven can be ok.

    Quite mild winter but we do have the remaining 8″ of snow which I really appreciate. It was a dreary January – no snow and now sun – so this is great. I don’t expect it to stay mid 30’s for long – headed into single digits within several days – possible snow – amaryllis blooming in my dining room and kitchen. Life is good.

    16” of snow so far along the front range here in Colorado! Much is gone with temps in the 40’s & 50’s (at least no need to winter water!) but I’m sure more to come, since March is our snowiest month!

    Gainesville, Florida – we had our azaleas blooming middle-late January. Darn this climate change, all is . . changing down here for sure. We no longer get 2 weeks of hard freeze in North Central Florida like we used to – last year it was one night. That’s it. This year two nights so far. I would love a bright green mixer to cheer me up and to make some of the wonderful recipes that you share! Merci =)

    Spring is struggling mightily to arrive early in southern Massachusetts, despite still freezing nights: green shoots of iris are peeking out of the ground, ground cover is perking up and greening, the buds on the forsythia are starting to plump, and I’ve got to go looking for pussywillows to cut tomorrow when it breaks 50 degrees again!

    early spring has sprung in zone 6. Leaf buds are swelling on the roses and hydrangea, snowdrops are blooming and hellebore are blooming. Daffodils are still just leaves, but getting taller with each sunny day.

    We just enjoyed a beautiful spring weekend in the 50’s here in Chicago… but a snowstorm is forecasted for Tuesday and Wednesday so we’ll be seeing more of the fluffy white stuff. Thanks for the opportunity to win that lovely green Kitchenaid mixer… I enjoy getting your emails, Kevin!

    Well our specialty this year, near Boston, is “rain/snow”. Its really strange – the two come down together! Not sure how the clouds arrange this.. but at least it wont be a dry Spring!

    Cheers Kevin, for a very fun website! And yep… starting those milk jugs any day now!

    “If you don’t like the weather here, wait a day.”
    Because it’s not spring today but it might be tomorrow, and then it might not be again the next day. It’s accurate.

    Very West Coast Canada – Victoria is awash with pink and white blooms on cherry and Camélia trees, and of course the purple crocuses and white snowdrops are up as well. From a former Alberta I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this! Thanks Kevin for the fresh air your emails always bring, no matter the season.

    I live an hour north of Toronto, Ontario. Today it was unseasonably warm (40 F) for the third week in February and the snow was melting although there is still lots of snow on the ground. No signs of emerging spring flowers or buds opening on our trees. Also, I haven’t seen any sign of the returning spring birds (normally the Robins return around the middle of March).
    Personally, I can’t wait for spring to arrive and in my book it can’t return soon enough.
    BTW – the bright green mixer reminds me of emerging spring plants and leaves opening up on the trees. I would love to look at the bright green mixer sitting on my counter to remind me that spring is around the corner

    In the metropolitan Atlanta area the weather can best be described as “Iffy”. and “wishy washy”, ranging from cold to rainy to blustery to warm and old man Winter is valiantly holding on. But, I know that Spring in all of its beauty and glory eagerly waits on the horizon and will soon be here!

    Spring is not quite here in Denver. The weather is all over the place! I can finally see patches of my yard, where the snow has melted away. Saturday, we were in the high 50’s. The low tomorrow night is forecast to be 11 degrees Fahrenheit. I can’t seem to figure out, how to type the small “O” as in to symbolize “degrees”, sorry! 😀 I’m going to wait to put my elderberry cuttings outside after tomorrow night in fear of it being too cold for them. This is my first time attempting to root cuttings. The grape hyacinths have been popped out of the ground since Fall, so I don’t count those, as being a sign of spring.

    No snow around my neck of the woods. Very little this winter in fact, and I miss it. Shoveling is tedious certainly but I always love the excitement of a good snowstorm, and this winter so far has been a bust. Maybe March will be different!

    Perky yellow daffodils poked their heads out from under a thin coating of snow this past weekend, much to the delight of visiting little ones from the NC coast. The smallest snowmen ever were lovingly crafted and displayed with pride on top of the grill.

In my garden the snowdrops are up and budded but not blooming and the Helleborus have very large buds that I recovered with leaf mulch. Seeds are ready for planting for this years veggie garden!

    It has been a roller coaster here with temperatures fluctuating widely. Some snowdrops are up, some early daffodil foliage peeking out, hellebore buds starting to unfurl. Some snow still around with more expected soon. So both winter and spring here.

    Slight melt of snow yesterday with a sunny, 50 degree day near Detroit. A walk around the garden with my hubby and a glass of wine delighted us with daffodil leaves tipping up out of the soil and hellebore buds and actual blooms of white on H. ‘Jacob’. It’s so different when you get up close to the flower beds and see what is actually happening, not just looking out the windows from the house. So many shrubs have budded up including our forsythia collection. Time to spray with Plantskydd animal repellent to help them make it through the rest of the winter, and not become an appetizer for our four legged friends. LOVE that stunningly green mixer…that’s a beauty Kevin! Perfect for celebrating Spring!

    Hi Kevin! Here in Saskatchewan, spring seems to have arrived a month early at least… there are 2 weeks upcoming with around zero weather, sometimes above. We had to bring in all the frozen foods stored outdoors before they thawed – that usually doesn’t happen until mid March. Thanks for your frequent giveaways!

    We are in the Sacramento area of NorCal and spring has sprung! It’s slow going, I think the blossoms wanted to wait a bit longer but the weather isn’t having it. Had to begin watering the garden, but just harvested a huge broccoli and we still have lettuce! Our peach tree’s pink blossoms just popped open this weekend…! Here’s to hoping for no frost now!

    We are waiting for some green–like your green machine! Every day is different, frost and cold, then sunny and warm, rain,hail,wind, and that is typical. However, I did see a few crocus popping up so I think we will have spring! Thanks for your great blog, Kevin.

    Spring is beginning it’s yearly awakening in the Chicagoland area. My crocuses have started coming up and some tulips and daffodils you can see about an 1/8 or 1/4 of an inch of their head! Of course tomorrow we are expecting 10 inches of snow so let’s see how it plays out!

    Hi Kevin
    Washington State here- we have some daffodils and crocus popping up but still have freezing weather in the mornings warming to 50 in the afternoon. Rains and still on the way so we aren’t safe yet.

    If -12 last week is considered Spring…..but today, the sun is out and it is a balmy 38 degrees, I saw a guy in shorts, so Spring MUST be here in Minnesota! 🙂 Even I don’t wear much of a coat if it is above 30! There is still snow on the ground, and more forecasted, but we feel like we are getting closer to cold, but not REALLY cold, weather. MY version of Spring these days.

Their colors poke up every year in between the pavers. A little early this year. Hopefully an early Spring.

    I live in Florida and although we aren’t as cold as the rest of the country, we are having a weird winter. It is in the mid 70’s today, but by Friday they say we will be struggling to make it out of the 50’s. It has been doing this back and forth thing for about a month so our plants don’t know what to do. But the pollen is aflowing, so I guess you could say Spring has sprung.

    Here in Coles County, east-central Illinois, spring arrived in January, left, and brought snow, then, came back again this month.
    We have been experiencing climate change here for the past 20+ years, each time it is cold and then “unseasonably” warm again, all the bulbs and flowering bushes begin to sprout. At first only once a winter beginning ca. 1997, now, it’s twice. At the time, my late father-in-law, born in 1914, said in his living memory he had never seen the like. Now, it’s expected.
    Today, what came up in January is both cold burned and re-sprouting, in February. Likely, we’ll get more snow, and it will start all over again.
    Plays havoc with my attempted winter-sowing. 🙂

    We had an early snow in November. In the following months we have had more rain than non rainy days, and only a few days of snow. The last few weeks have gone from highs of 55 down to highs of upper 20’s. I’m ready for spring!

    It’s been such a warm winter in Virginia, it feels like it’s been spring for months –without all the lovely green growth. A gloomy dark spring that breeds mosquitoes…

    Unfortunately, no spring in sight other than winter aconites. They will be covered with snow here in Michigan by tomorrow. Oh, well. That green mixer would make it feel like spring here on my counter, though!

    Hi Kevin: My neighbor tells me that spring has sprung in our WI neighborhood where she is watching over our house. I am lucky to be in Florida waiting to get on a cruise ship to the Caribbean where I am sure it will be spring like. She says it is 50 degrees with snow to come later in the week and back to winter.

    In Western New York State we are looking at another round of winter to arrive over the next 2 days. Snow accumulating 5-6 inches off Lakes Erie and Ontario. Temperatures falling into the teens with overnight lows around 10. So NO spring here. A bright green mixer might make me feel like there is hope for spring though.

    Still waiting for Spring. Not digging out YET, 25 to 30cm (9 to 11 in.) of snow expected here in the next 24 hrs. That mixer would be a great help for times when I’m trapped in the house !! lol
