weather in Albuquerque!

Lets see, time to get the peas in the ground fast and.................
Snow, we don't got no steeeeenkin snow.......

Well, Spring is a fond hope here in Spokane WA, but I went out
to the garden yesterday and the spinach I seeded late last fall
is coming up. In 30-35 degree weather! I went out this morning
and put on the bird netting (they're already fenced for rabbits)
to hold down the feasting.

1 week till initial thinning, 2 more to baby leaves, and full
plants before the end of March. If it all doesn't freeze :-).

70 in central Texas. I mowed the lawn. Really. Not much grass
but a lot of weeds. Then I did some pruning.

It's supposed to be even warmer tomorrow. I'll continue my
outdoor work.

I thatched my lawn (Bermuda grass) a month agoG. Roses have eyelets
where leaves are starting, carrots are coming back up, garlic looks like
its coming around, onions are coming out as are the daffodils.

I washed my Texas Cadillac (Chevy Suburban) today too!

Hmmmmm......

Here in New Brunswick (Canada), I awoke to some coals still in the
woodstove, and a temp of minus 30 degrees Celsius with the windchill. And
there is still plenty of snow down, and the ice won't be out of the lake
until mid April. I gotta retire down south.
About all the gardening I can do is look at the seed catalogs.
Nice to hear someone gets to play in the dirt.

Won't be spring here for awhile. Here in Nebraska we still have 2 ft of
snow on the ground, and with temps remaining at freezing, we'll be lucky if
all this snow is melted by June.

I still prefer the snow and ice over the crowds and road-raged drivers in
southern California...

Is this normal? Our miniature iris' are in full bloom, and I see several
bulbs starting to come up. We are in TN.

I live in northern AR and have several bright patches of miniature iris
(Purple Gem)blooming now. It has to be normal because this is the third year
in a row in which they bloomed around the twentieth of February, and this is
the third year since I planted them. The only other explanation I can think
of is that miniature iris in AR and TN aren't normal! :)

Yes, but...... The people who know you are well aware that nothing is your
garden could be "normal." It wouldn't be growing there if it was. :)
