A. reports that, while working in the garden today, he spotted shoots from some of the bulbs we planted in the autumn, coming up through the mulch he covered them in to prevent such happenings. Shoots! This isn't supposed to happen until March!
It's all this crazy mild weather we're having - plants everywhere are confused. I'm afraid that if they all start coming up now, they'll die off when we (inevitably) get socked with real winter weather. The only consolation is that the shoots we're seeing at the moment are those of the daylilies and irises, which were already here on the property when we moved in, and which are well-established by now. Hoping that my tulips, daffs and hyacinths are still slumbering in the soil, cold and peaceful...
