spring!

[flea]

I saw my first daffodil in bloom on my way in this morning, amusingly enough in the front yard of the Frat Boys Next Door, who are not precisely gardeners. 3 years ago the house was girls, and maybe they planted daffs, or maybe they're relics from some previous incarnation of the house (it was originally a duplex, and a neighbor who is a profssor in the later 40s lived there as a graduate student.)

There have been crocuses in bloom all week on the corner, and in general the flowering tree sequence has begun (with cherries). So, spring! In February! This despite our week-long "cold snap" which is actually just normal winter weather, i.e. lows around freezing, daytime highs near 50.

So, must actually PLACE a garden seed order if I'm going to be planting peas in a couple of weeks.

I read this before I left home this morning, so I took a quick walk by the bulb patch on my way out. Sure enough, there are all sorts of shoots sticking out of the ground over there, and far too many to be just the crocuses. I think they must've had a rude awakening last night, though, since it was below freezing when I got up.
