Signs of Spring
by Cliff Sharples (chief cultivator)
It's still January, but with our unseasonable cold followed by unseasonable warm weather, the plants are getting a little confused!
Here Come the Bulbs!
We love spring blooming bulbs in our garden. Tulips, crocus, alliums, daffodils, narcissus... we love them all! So, I'm always worried when they start coming up a little too early, as the Pacific Northwest winters always have Spring surprises. It almost always works out just fine though; and to have a light at the end of our dark-winter tunnel is always appreciated.
Crocus are typically first on the scene, but this year it seems a month too early!
Daffodils are starting to rise from hybernation... Hope we stay nice and mild for the rest of the winter!
New shoots are popping up everywhere I look: daffodils, alliums, crocus and even the tulips!
