My neighbor's daughter's crocuses are blooming already. In Maine, in early March. This is the warmest winter in recent memory. I just hope my garlic crop doesn't emerge too early and get damaged by some serious cold. We're not truly into freeze-free weather here until mid-May at the soonest. Some brave souls plant peas in early May (for bragging rights), but generally, it is not safe to sow from seed here until Memorial day.Moonbear said:My crocuses are starting to emerge and bud, in spite of the snow still on the ground! Now, I wonder if I will get to enjoy the flowers before the deer do? (I'm going to have to change my plans on where to put my vegetable garden...with all the snow, I was able to see the deer tracks, and the other day, watched the whole herd of 7 deer wander through my yard...seems the spot I was planning to put the garden is right along their path to the field across from me...DRAT!)
