I planted them late fall, later than normally advised and with the far harsher
than normal winter on the east coast, expected they had died.

2 weeks ago we saw buds. Last week we saw a few greening bits. Today,
literally overnight one burst into bloom and the other looks like it will
tomorrow. Grin, YEAH!

Lettuce busting loose too.

My apple trees have buds with a few blosoms shining all pink and white.
I have one cherry tree that has many blosoms. This is their first spring
in my garden. All dwarf with the exception of the one I started by seed
last year. It's still growing with putting out new leaves and that's all I
expect from it for a couple years.

But for the past couple of mornings, including this morning, it is below
freezing out. I'm in the Pacific NW and while it does still snow, freeze
this time of year, I'm hoping it won't affect my plants and trees. I do have
them protected so they should be ok.
