 -=> Quoting Mike Roberts to Nancy Backus on 04-14-13 10:44 <=- NB>> At least we are also getting a few minutes of real sun just about NB>> every day to go along with the rain... :) I know we've got flood NB>> watches in place, but at least where I've been, things aren't too NB>> bad... and from what I hear, we actually do need this rain. :) MR> This is our week, I can feel it. This is the week we turn the corner MR> into spring!! ;) One can but hope... after all, we ARE halfway through April now... :) NB>> Yup, the forsythia next door is yellowing up nicely.. :) And my NB>> bulbs have leaves well up and some buds showing for the daffodils.. :) MR> MR> Yes, I have to do some homework too. There is a certain window to trim MR> back the lilacs, I think just after the blooms die off. I need to do MR> some trimming this year for sure. That sounds about right... the buds are set now, so you don't want to trim now, you'd lose all the blooms... MR>> I am not sure of the exact date, but if I remember right, last MR>> year at this time. Lilacs were already blooming. A full month early. I MR>> had never seen them that early before here in NY. The magnolias were MR>> already gone. NB>> Last year was just an anomaly... and then we got our usual frosts NB>> back... this year is much more normal... for spring, anyway... ;) MR> Definitely, Never saw a Winter/Spring like that one in my life.... It indeed was rather bizarre... We'd had early warmth, but not that stayed so long it totally confused the plant life... MR> ... Stop tagline theft! Copyright your tagline (c) Yeah, right.... like that would work... |
