Well, Spring is a fond hope here in Spokane WA, but I went out to the garden yesterday and the spinach I seeded late last fall is coming up. In 30-35 degree weather! I went out this morning and put on the bird netting (they're already fenced for rabbits) to hold down the feasting.
1 week till initial thinning, 2 more to baby leaves, and full plants before the end of March. If it all doesn't freeze :-).

70 in central Texas. I mowed the lawn. Really. Not much grass but a lot of weeds. Then I did some pruning.
It's supposed to be even warmer tomorrow. I'll continue my outdoor work.

I thatched my lawn (Bermuda grass) a month ago<G>. Roses have eyelets where leaves are starting, carrots are coming back up, garlic looks like its coming around, onions are coming out as are the daffodils.
I washed my Texas Cadillac (Chevy Suburban) today too!
Here in New Brunswick (Canada), I awoke to some coals still in the woodstove, and a temp of minus 30 degrees Celsius with the windchill. And there is still plenty of snow down, and the ice won't be out of the lake until mid April. I gotta retire down south. About all the gardening I can do is look at the seed catalogs. Nice to hear someone gets to play in the dirt.

Won't be spring here for awhile. Here in Nebraska we still have 2 ft of snow on the ground, and with temps remaining at freezing, we'll be lucky if all this snow is melted by June.
I still prefer the snow and ice over the crowds and road-raged drivers in southern California...

I live in northern AR and have several bright patches of miniature iris (Purple Gem)blooming now. It has to be normal because this is the third year in a row in which they bloomed around the twentieth of February, and this is the third year since I planted them. The only other explanation I can think of is that miniature iris in AR and TN aren't normal! :)
