General Confusion

Daffodils resurfaced

The plants are as confused as we are (and the deer too, I'm sure) about the season we are in by the relatively warm and unpredictable weather which we've had this winter.  Looking back on my posts from last year, I see "the Iceman Cometh" on the 1st of February, in contrast, it is a balmy 52 degrees this 1st day of February, 2012!  I noticed a week ago that our hyacinth bulbs have already poked through the ground; today I was shocked to see that the daffodils have already bloomed! Kirk is not as sanguine about the weather staying this warm and hopes that we won't have another freeze in the coming days to wipe out those tentative buds.
