Springtime is coming. It’s been a shorter winter than usual here. It’s chilly still, but the temperatures are not going near freezing for the past several days, and forcasted not to most of the next 15 days. Just two below freezings, the rest in the mid 30’s or higher for lows.
We have a normal “last freeze” date of March 15th. It’s fast approaching, just, practically speaking, a month away now. By April’s beginning the garden will need to be started, and if anything is planted sooner, it needs to be watched, so delicate stuff should wait until April.
Trees will be coming into flowing life again soon. We’ll need to spray the Apple and Willow trees for prevention of Fireblight, which is our dastardly viscious enemy here in this Georgia backyard. There are some very young trees that need to be trimmed as well, before they come out of dormancy. The list will grow. All these outdoorsy things will demand high attention.
So I better get some of this indoor stuff under better control. Ugh. 🙁
I’m so looking forward to Pussy Willow blooms, wildflowers, Maple tree flowers (yes, they do flower, check one out close-up), Dogwood blooms, Yoshino Cherry blossoms, White/Pink Apple Blossoms, green willow growth, baby apples, and nests being built in trees and nest box.
Not the allergies that come with the whole deal though. 😉
