I appears I may have welcomed spring in just a tad too soon. It snowed yesterday evening; I drove the last hour or so through it, and it was hard driving. But then, I'm a whuss about snow driving.
It wasn't much snow, and it's already melted from the driveway and road near my house (and I suspect other roads in the area). That melting really brings home what I've heard about the ways concrete and asphalt store heat way more than plants and soil do, because the snow's still on the lawn and soil a little (though it is melting).
There's a reason I keep posting pictures of the same crocus. There's only one. Yep. There are other crocus plants starting to come up, but this is the only flower starting so far. Keep your fingers crossed for more!
(One of the bonuses to taking out the ugly bushes in my front yard is that I'll be able to put in a bunch more crocuses and other bulbs for early spring hope next year.
In my part of the midwest, it seems we always get a "surprise" april snow shower.....
ReplyDeleteThe first crocus is always the heart-breaker. Maybe it will be helpful to think of it as the garden pioneer of its group, making the path clear for crocuses yet to be.
