We pride ourselves in being way out in front when it comes to spring and here[80 miles west of victoria] we are about 6 weeks behind!!! I have tulips that just came out in full bloom in the front yard yesterday and the smaller varigated ones haven't bloomed yet???They are usually finished by march 30th. I usually have my garden ready to plant and it is still in winter weeds. It's just too cold to get out and get it ready. Then yesterday the thermometer went nuts and went to 22 celsius??? what a crazy year!! Hang in there Gayle, I think we are going to go straight to summer!! Love the sally post blocks and the "sun flower" is just what I needed after so many cold days..... well Hon, I wish I had better news from the “garden city” area of Victoria BC but it’s no better here.
