Seven weeks to spring?? Surely you jest. lol. That gets me to March. If I were on the other computer I would show you what my yard looks like in March.

I have sprouted lily bubils, and some tiny glad corms taken from the main corms last fall. Also sprouted some iris seeds. Never did that before. And some other seeds that I thought were lily but look more like Alyssum. Drat. They won't make it to go outside. To far out. Even if I repot in larger pots. I guess I was guessing that it takes them a while to mature outdoors and I wanted flowers sooner than later.

I am also holding off on dahlias as long as possible. My storage space is too warm I know (about 53F) but not much I can do about that. Should have stored them in the garage but I simply have no room. The rolling racks are jammed and will need to be offloaded to boxes to make room for flats as it is.

Neck deep in snow right now with crazy weather - tons of snow then 45F then back to single digits then up to the mid 20's.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
