This time of year more than any other when the cold weather is still stuck upon us we look for any signs of spring. We scour the garden for any hints of warmer weather that will hopefully be on its way soon. We have it lucky right now here in Tennessee. While the snows are burying parts of our country we sit with frigid air but no snow. Warmer days are coming, I’m sure of it! The signs of spring are beginning to appear in my garden.
The daffodils are beginning their growth. They have only just begun to emerge from their winter sleep. Soon they will be highlighting the each garden like little pieces if the sun shining from the soil.
But they are not alone. The Tulips are also in on the game. Negrita and Shirley are pushing up from soil of the front sidewalk garden.
The signs of spring coming are beginning to show here, how about where you are?
Oooh, I am so jealous! We have so much snow on the ground still, so it's hard to find signs of spring.
My daffodils are about the same height, a bloom here and there on winter jasmine and honeysuckle and fattening buds on lenten rose. I think I've enjoyed seeing the robins just as much! Also had our first "housefly." I think that is as good a predictor as any!
It will be at least a month before I see any signs like that here. Of course, we're buried under about a foot of snow right now!
Is that the tulip bulb I see in that last picture? Did they heave out of the ground that much? Wow. That's a long way to come. We have to plant them at least six inches deep here.
Snowflakes, daffodils, forsythia & peach tree showing. A couple Grape Hyacinths blooming. All seems to be on time regardless of such cold weather {so early} for this area.
Our bulbs look about the same as yours. I go on walks through the yard now almost everyday looking for more signs of spring. It's nice to see those little sprouts coming. Here we're just cold, no snow either.
Hello Dave, Our daffs are up a bit higher then yours and I've noticed that some of the ephemerals are poking their leaves up…Can spring be far behind…gail
I actually have a few Daff buds, finally! Signs of Spring what a blessed sight.
