You know what this means, don't you? It means I have to figure out what early seedlings I have to sow, pretty quick.

Here at 43.10618° N I haven't seen any green but the tom turkeys are suddenly strutting their stuff to some decidedly uninterested ladies.

Here in SE GA we had our first signs a month ago. Very early spring this year. Will be potting up tomatoes this week into their final homes. Temps approaching 90.😮

Lil cabbages (Autumn Joy Sedum to you's sticklers) forming, Daylily-n-Iris spears sharpening, Lilac, Meteor Cherry, and Korean Viburnum budding, and I could finally yank the ice-anchored Darkibor-n-Prizm Kale stalks from the ground.

One more thing.

5-6"/12.7-15.24cms of heavy snow Thursday night thru Friday morning.

IOW, what we call Spring...

Hyacinths bursting with color-n-fragrance, and seemingly outta nowhere bees are dive-bombing them to their li'l heart's desire.

You are being hopeful. I'm looking at a layer of frost on my lawn and gardens as I'm sipping my coffee.

Five (5) days in a row of 80°F/26.6°C +...today's high 48°F/8.9°C and dropping all day.

Tomorrow? 3-6"/7.6-15.2cms of snow...UGH!
