So here I am in eastern Tennessee. In theory at least it is the dead of
winter. The problem is that the daffodils are now 4" high, the hyacinths
threaten to break through the mulch, and the crocus is doing the same. The
forsythia is blooming, as are some of the creeping phlox and periwinkle.

There is no climate change -- the Great Orange God has told us that it is
just a Chinese hoax. Will somebody please tell the plants?

Worse than I first thought: I went out for the trash can and noticed that
some yellow crocus and blue anemone blanda are now in bloom among the
creeping phlox. The English bluebells seem to be breaking ground and some
of the daylilies are greening up and starting to grow. Daffodils are higher
and some have well developed buds so there is no telling when they'll try
to start blooming. January 28th right now so I'd put everything as about 1
to 1-1/2 months too early.
