The first hint of spring is in the bed on the south side of my house where the sun is best and the heat from our basement warms the soil early. It usually begins in April sometime with the crocus first to bloom, usually through the straw mulch. This year, we had an early warming spell, and all the plants in that bed have shot up much earlier than usual. Here is the bed still covered in straw mulch on St. Patrick's Day.
