Yes, that's roughly the same time here. I'm hoping the rest of our February won't be such bad weather. I couldn't garden much the last two years so I'm waaay behind with everything. DH is ill and it's hard to get things going without being interrupted. So my current gardening goes in fits and spurts. Right now, I have a lot of my lilies in pots except for some of the Crinums and a couple of others.
Do you have a lot of kudzu on your property? I have none here but other stuff to contend with. Bamboo and Bermuda grass being two of them. One area of bamboo is easy to keep in check because it can be mowed over to keep the area small. The other area has taken off running the fenceline and the neighbor's don't edge the line on their side. I like the looks of it ... just wishing for a little more containment on one side at least.
