I noticed today that the azalea blooms are swelling up and other woody plants are sprouting. I haven’t turned my heat on one time this winter either (saved a bundle). That’s never happened here before, never never ever. I live in South Alabama.

We usually have some pretty cold weather though and normally I run my central heat the entire season (2 1/2 -3 months). Bet we have a bad hurricane season.

14. Its been rather mild in FL. I'm assuming we're in for a bad hurricane season as well. |
|
Just what we need to go along with our Depression style economy.

and we have not had a single frost. My apple, mango, and peach trees are in bloom and I am still harvesting tomatoes. Turtles have been coming up from the lake and laying eggs in the yard and that usually happens in March. Very strange year.

10. Thanks. I pruned my stuff today. And saw some new growth. |

Very weird winter in Houston, too. Very nasty, or nice. In January.

9. We're entering the deep freeze for the next week or so currently 7 degrees here in Fulton, New York. |
|
Our winter came on earlier than in recent years. We've been going back and forth from snow to icy rain and back to snow. It's weird, because around Christmas we were warmer than Houston and New Orleans! They had snow and we had rain!

11. we've got some flowering cherries blooming in Raleigh! |
|
My daffodils are at least 6 inches out of the ground. we recently had a day with wide temp swings - 35 to 65 to 40 to 65 to 35 - in 24 hours (probably in 12 hours, actually).
No wonder the plants are confused!

17. Hi neighbor! Lots of buds on my cherry and bradford pears... |
|
no blooms yet though. Hope the cold weather the past couple of days doesn't make them drop.

the rhododendron leaves are curled tightly together as they always do when IT'S 10 DEGREES OUT. I'm so jealous of your azalea blooms!
