If you ask me, it's down right scary. Azaleas are blooming everywhere. They are not due here until March or April. We had only 3 cold nights of 36 or so and the days have been up in the 80's. Not normal for this area and time of year.
The coreopsis thinks it spring and have come blooming.
Our average first frost date is November 15. I moved all my tenders into the guest house then. It's been hot ever since.
What's scary is......with it being so unseasonably warm, what's to come for the rest of winter?
On a good note, my roses love it. I have cut roses every day.
