In Cambridge (MA), my crocuses have gone past, the daffodils are up and blooming and the iris and tulips are on the way.
The peach tree (in a container, that shelters in a sunny southern overhang for the winter) has pink buds that will probably be blossoms by tomorrow. Same thing for most of the cherries. The blackberries and raspberries have new leaves....
I'm starting to wonder if it's too *LATE* to sow some of the early spring pea varieties and such that don't handle heat well (normally sown 4 weeks or so before last frost).
We didn't really get winter (I kept a simple, unheated cold frame made of scrap lumber, plastic, and bubble wrap going all winter, still has happy chard in it) and now I'm getting doubtful about really having spring.
