With the recent warm spell, everyone is thinking about spring. Of course we know it is not here yet, but we have hope. The bad thing about the transition from winter to spring is the unpredictable weather. Were getting to the point in the season where thaws and unseasonably warm weather may start to "awaken" some of our plants.

This happens almost every year and gardeners start to worry if the tulips pop up a little earlier than expected. Try not to worry too much. Spring bulbs are tough. They normally bloom when the weather is iffy and they should not be harmed unless they actully flower and then a cold snap hits. If they come up and a layer of snow falls, the snow will just insulate them rather than harm them.
