Suddenly . . .

. . . . EVERYTHING is sprouting little bits of green.

Tell me about it Jim! Isn't it exciting! Buds bursting on my privets makes me excited about the departure of the wet and dark winter. I just hope we get a good summer unlike last year's wet one.

Cheers and here's to a happy and warm summer Jim,

Adam

Still waiting out freezing temps here. Lucky sons of...

Sigh; 'Life ain't fair'! After the nice week we had earlier.. Now it is snowing again.

Enjoy spring Jim!

This is the weather we expect next week in my area


plain terrible

Kind regards Yvonne

The past few days have been mild, with buds opening. Now there is snow in the forecast today; typical Virginia weather. Overnight temps this week are forecast in the mid 20's; too cold to start repotting. Next week perhaps...

I started repotting yesterday! It felt really good to get out there and get dirt under my fingernails.

I think you can get a cream for that, Adam.

Things starting to move here now but only very slowly. We've had a fair bit of sunshine but it is still cold.

Everything here in middle Georgia is turning yellow from the pollen. It happened almost overnight. Yuck!

Fiona,

It's a thick trunked privet and so full of buds bursting due to its vigour, I'd need an ocean of cream Fiona All I visualize is how bushy and lush it'd be by the summer. I am so proud of it now. I've also noticed how sensitive the top is to a cold wind with buds turning a maroon red. I think they should change the common name of the Privet. Here it is anyway if you fancy a look




Oh and I wrap it nice and warm in it's own fleece Must start thinking of sticking it somewhere nice. In a nice pot I mean.

Cheers,
Adam

What a nice hunk-a-privet!

Sorry Jim,

we are in reverse, everything is brown and going browner - chuckle
Bright side, heavy blooms coming up soon, poui - cad. yellow flowers, petrea - purple flowers - immortelles just finishing salmon and vermilion flowers, tamarinds with yellow or red orchid type flowers.

Looks like winter in some areas.
Best.
