Yea, nothing worst than a vacation.
We have not had much of a winter, actually I'm still waiting. Did some wintersowing and got sprouts way too soon and they froze now it's back in the sixties and seventies and stuff is sprouting again, even the trees are budding. I have seen Saucer Magnolias and Red Buds in full bloom .
Almost all my Daffodils have bloomed, and the tulips are coming up. LOL
