Technically, it’s far too early to be worried too much about the gardens. And it’s still to early to plant any of my seeds inside. But the snow we had is gone, and the weather’s back to hovering above freezing so naturally the boys and I were outside poking around.
The cats aren’t the only furry things soaking up the sunshine…
All three of the pussywillows are starting to show their catkins. I thought it seemed a little early, but looking back at last year’s photos, it looks like it’s about right on time.
There’s lots of green popping up everywhere, but the thing I’m most excited about are these
Last fall, planted a pile of crocuses for some early spring colour. Despite these healthy sprouts, it will be at least a month before I see blooms on them. But it makes me happy to see the green, because not all of the bulbs I planted are going to bloom…
It seems the squirrels have had their fun with some of them. But that’s why I plant a tonne – hopefully the majority will make it through!

Great photo of Burton and Lemmy! It’s that time of the year in my area to start seeing those signs of spring also.

Too many things are popping up here. It’s worrying me. Do I rake their winter cover off this early and take a chance or not? Damn groundhog made things complicated.

Not much green coming up here but it has been above freezing during the day since we got home. The boys look happy to be outside and I love the photo of them.
Blessings,

It’s astounding to me that you are already experiencing buds, when we aren’t that far away…and farther south…and aren’t anywhere near that stage!

It’s rare for any Spring bulb to survive the squirrels here! Love the pussy willows!
