March growth in February

February 19, 2022February 21, 2022 ~ M Ress ~ Leave a comment

Spring has sprung at least a month early. The implications of why might be an existential horror show, but it does provide me with a head start on things. Also it’s neat seeing all my deciduous plants leaf out in the clear February light. This Pomegranate was a thoughtful gift from my boyfriend late last … Continue reading March growth in February

The main advantage of the extra unseasonal heat is that it's triggering some early flowers- which is good for the bees I suppose. Now I'm not 100% sure this … Continue reading April has no more showers- but plenty of flowers
