My daffodils are ready to bloom. The cherry tree and blueberry bush are both budding. It's FUCKING FEBRUARY!!!! Didn't they get the memo?

On Edit: I had to scrape frost off of the front window on the van at 4:30 this morning. The plants just don't understand.

Well, here in W PA, snow has ruled today. Curmudgeoness Feb 2012 #5

Oh, yeah THAT's a shock. I lived in Clarion for four years. Normal. HopeHoops Feb 2012 #6

We had one of those last week. beac Feb 2012 #9

This just goes to show that spring is here.... Curmudgeoness Feb 2012 #12

I saw daffodils blooming in someone's yard today. beac Feb 2012 #13

As much as I like spring weather... Ruby Reason Feb 2012 #7

Yep. We changed zones too. HopeHoops Feb 2012 #8

Kinda scarey if you ask me. Ruby Reason Mar 2012 #17

Agreed. The last few seasons have been weird. HopeHoops Mar 2012 #18

well, it is spring for me. mopinko Feb 2012 #10

Spring starts early this year. Denninmi Feb 2012 #14

I've got crocus blooming and daffodils not far behind. Spring's here as far as they're concerned. HopeHoops Feb 2012 #15

That sounds like a lot of work. Ruby Reason Mar 2012 #21

I sleep under it. Yes, I love that tree. The cherries aren't all that great, but the tree is. HopeHoops Mar 2012 #24

a whole month early for me stuntcat Mar 2012 #16

Yeah, I have been shoveling snow all week. More today. But it is close. Can't wait. jwirr Mar 2012 #19

My wife just finished pruning back and raking the asparagus bed. It will be early this year. HopeHoops Mar 2012 #20

Asparagus is worth the effort. Ruby Reason Mar 2012 #22

There's not much effort anymore - just cut down the old growth and rake it out. HopeHoops Mar 2012 #25

Yes, it is either a fall effort or spring (or both), but worth it! Ruby Reason Mar 2012 #26

well, almost! shanti Mar 2012 #27
