It is in the 70s today and I believe this has been the warmest winter we have ever had in Southwest Ohio. The daffodils are starting to bloom in the garden and I cut a few for the house. The sun is shining and I have cleaned up the raised beds again since the weather is so terrific today. The garlic I planted in November is sprouting and I predict it will most likely be harvested earlier than mid July. Flowers seeds have been ordered and should be arriving next week. Of course I cannot sow those outside for a couple of months. As a side note, one of my carry over amaryllis bulbs is just starting to bloom for its second year. I can often get them to re-bloom, but they have I mind of their own when that happens even though I follow the directions for getting them to re-bloom at Christmas. I will post a photo once it fully blooms.
We live in zone 6a and I have been gardening and cooking for years. This blog is an opportunity for me to share with you my success and those failures that come about on occasion. Plus, I want to hear from all the gardeners and bakers and cooks out there and learn from you. Feel free to share your ideas.

Spring Is Here- At Least For Today
It is in the 70s today and I believe this has been the warmest winter we have ever had in Southwest Ohio. The daffodils are starting to bloom in the garden and I cut a few for the house.

Oh my-those daffs are gorgeous. Such nice color, after a winter of none!
ReplyDeleteSue they add such joy and today we had snow flurries. That is just the way the weather is around here. However, it has really been a mild winter overall. Thanks for visiting my blog.
