Every year I think that the weather is either colder or warmer than “normal”; or I think that the plants are either ahead of or behind what is “normal”; or I could swear that at this time last year………………etc. This year I was feeling as though it is colder, wetter, and the plants are not as far along as they should be. Well, I decided to look at our “Newsy Letter” from March 9, 2010 and check out just what was going on in the garden at this time last year. I found that the magnolia blossoms were starting to open, hostas in pots were beginning to unfurl their leaves, hostas in the ground were poking their “noses” out, and I was being dazzled by a full display of daffodil blossoms in the parking strip out front.
