A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Where is spring???

It has been unseasonably cold here for months. This time last year my daffodils and crocuses were starting to bloom. This year they are just barely halfway up. I usually have peonies coming up as well, and many perennials starting to wake up...but not much of anything going on yet. I suppose that's not really a bad thing. I usually also get late freezes that kill or damage plants, so maybe if it stays cold for a while longer my plants will be slower to come up and the risk of damage will be less. (I'm realling trying!) I have so much to do in the garden as far as clean up and prep work, but it's too dang cold! Yeah, I know I won't get much sympathy from those of you in the north who deal with the cold all the time. :-(

Hi Alan! It's been unusually cold here as well. I do have crocus and tulips coming up but no blooms yet. My compost is almost ready ,, just too cold to go out and sift it as it will take a couple of hours

Nah, I'll give you sympathy ....it seems like the weather flip-flopped this year.
