I forget its exact name but I do believe it is a hybrid. I got 3 little heads of that 4 years ago and now there are little mounds of it a...

Yeah, it looks fine based on that picture.

Here's two pictures of the same humifusa plant from 2009, one from mid April the other from early June. Still have concerns?

Re: Do you appreciate spring?

Just a few more days and we'll FINALLY have some warmer weather. Starting Friday, they are predicting days in the 50's and above freezing every night. Just 4 more days and we'll finally be released from Winter's grasp! Weather computers models have been hinting for days now of a real nice warm up f...

Re: Do you appreciate spring?

Last year on this date it was 83 degrees (28C). Crocuses had already gone by, peepers were out, an Azalea had bloomed and I was wearing shorts.

This year is a wee bit different. Wood stove is still going 24/7 for now.
