Our golden crocuses showed up today - pretty early for us, a near-record. We saw cultivated buttercups in a neighbor’s yard a few days ago, but no wild ones yet. Lots of bird activity -ducks and geese have pair up, flickers are courting, everybody’s claiming territory.
We only hit middle 40’s today, but have touched 60 once this spring. I actually went out and tossed a few lettuce seeds on a spot yesterday … ground is still frozen underneath, but lettuce self-seeds sometimes, so I thought I’d try it. Any seedlings are liable to heaving with the frost, but they can be tenacious, so fingers crossed.
