Sorry Karen
I lived all my life in zones 4 and 5 so I sympathize. I'm fascinated by spring arriving this early and I'm told this has been a weird year and spring is almost a month late! They do tell me that there can be unexpected late bad weather that can ruin bloom but nothing that kills plants off.
I've already started planting out my daylily seedlings which back in NY I wouldn't have done for another two months!!
I'm still trying to get use to seeing cactus and palms planted right in the ground!!!
