Some of the more advanced Hostas up in North EastTexas one pip just emerged today & still waiting on a couple more. It has been a good spring here.

Still have snow in the back yard but it's going fast with temps today at 28C. Crocuses are in full bloom in front of the house. I HOPE the hostas don't show up for a couple more weeks as they are less likely to be damaged in a cold snap.
87 here today, only 3 areas of snow in the neighborhood. Possible snow on Sunday. Bulbs came up fast, with the warm temp and winds from the south, the crocus and snowdrops are fading fast.
As Yogi Berra said, “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”
We melted almost everything except where there were big drifts. but tomorrow temps are going back down. The crocus were blooming and the tulips and daffodil shoots were there under the snow. But no Hosta showing up and I'm hoping they won't for awhile because the temps at night are going to be hard freezing. It was so exciting to be able to walk some places in my garden at last although it was kind of scary because it was hard to find anyplace to step because of the deer manure. I've never seen so much ever so that doesn't bode well for the plants. As soon as every thing starts coming up I'll have to get out and spray for them.
I ordered Glad Rags from NGP to replace the one that I lost. I also saw a new one (?) at a nursery that I may have to get later this season.
