Ick!

Huron, OH(Zone 5b)

yesterday's snow is now gone

Thomaston, CT

I still have some lingering in the shady corners...hopefully, it will melt today. Should be 50 & sunny.....

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

snow gone here - between it and the cold some of the early blooming bulbs have wilted

South Hamilton, MA

yes, daff stems were not happy from the weight of the snow. flowers look ok though. 35°

Staten Island, NY(Zone 6a)

My daffodils are picking up their heads and looking beautiful again, even though it is 44 degrees .

(Pam) Warren, CT(Zone 5b)

Hahaha... Thought I'd see green when we got here this afternoon...

It's still pretty.

This am once again there is frost on the ground, no snow anymore. Overnight low was 28F. It's already 34 so soon the rugs can come off of the perennial boxes.

Thomaston, CT

Partly cloudy, temp should once again be around 50......my daffs never picked their heads up again! Pam, should melt by Sat. when temps are somewhat warmer!

South Hamilton, MA

41° overcast. Thinking about showers.

Huron, OH(Zone 5b)

65 and sunny

Thomaston, CT

Sunny & 60.....a beautiful spring day!

South Hamilton, MA

Up to 59°

(Pam) Warren, CT(Zone 5b)

Gorgeous day, most of the snow is gone. I found eyes on several peonies while raking out the beds today. :-)

Thomaston, CT

Yes, here, too! Should be sunny & 60 today....tomorrow I have an order of plants to get into the soil.......geum, delph, echium among them......

South Hamilton, MA

only 48° Peonies have a couple inches length to the stems. Must get new supports.

Lexington, MA(Zone 6a)

I got some peony supports to try from Lee Valley through mail order. They have to be assembled though.

South Hamilton, MA

I think I can get them at the local garden center. they have things like that.

(Pam) Warren, CT(Zone 5b)

The ones from Lee Valley are much sturdier. Mine are all bent after only a couple of years. Also, Lee Valley has choices of longer legs, which should help with my older clumps.

Thomaston, CT

Frosty morning, but should be around 65 today......

Staten Island, NY(Zone 6a)

Yesterday was in the high 55 s I prune and feed my roses, planted potatoes,carrotsl ,bok Choy

and transplanted my winter sowed lettuce.Oh Boy that was a lot for a retiree in one day.

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

I saw a good idea for peony supports that I will try with a few of mine - pound in three 4' pieces of rebar and tie string back and forth creating a star like design. My three largest peony always fall over so I will test this with them.

(Pam) Warren, CT(Zone 5b)

That sounds very interesting. It shouldn't be very noticeable once it weathers. I guess you leave the rebar in place, and just re-string every year? I just invested in a bunch of grids and legs from Lee Valley. They are way more sturdy than the standard ones. Have you ever tried them?

Huron, OH(Zone 5b)

upper 70's today

Staten Island, NY(Zone 6a)

Was up to 62 today and transplanted my beets, sowed cosmos and sunflower seeds . Cleaned up on of my sunny garden bed.I enjoyed the beautifull weather today.

Lexington, MA(Zone 6a)

Another warm sunny day today. Frost is expected midweek, though, so the plant babies are staying put until next weekend at least.

South Hamilton, MA

56° hazy sun into the 60s today We both have our yearly eye exam this morning. So glad that the hanging pine branch (section of trunk?) is down.

Thomaston, CT

You've been busy, Cytf! I weeded today in 70 degree temps.....raining now.

Thomaston, CT

Just came in from my walk.....way different from yesterday.....45, cloudy, windy.....ugh!

South Hamilton, MA

53° & light rain. Person in Lexington was struck by lightning but that is 45 min drive away from here when the roads are not too crowded.

Lexington, MA(Zone 6a)

Gosh when was that? I'll read it in the local paper tomorrow. Before 9 am my dog was hyperventillating, so I waited a little longer to drive 60 miles in the pounding rain for a job assignment. There was a fifteen minutes period of very loud lightening strikes. Rain continued for the next hour and a half. Patches of occasional sunshine now and the overnight low prediction has been modified from freezing to about F40.

Staten Island, NY(Zone 6a)

Robindog I could not resist such beautiful days ,we will be getting rain on Friday.Was 53 degrees this morning I cut back the Montauk Daises today and watered my veggies.

Thomaston, CT

Need to cut back my Montauks as well! No lightning here, but the wind is just awful....another day lost outside!

Huron, OH(Zone 5b)

44 and cloudy

South Hamilton, MA

(Pam) Warren, CT(Zone 5b)

High today was 53, low during the week, 30.9. The Daffs are coming up 1 millimeter at a time. Everything else looks the same as last week.

Thomaston, CT

Ahead of you here, Pam.......daffs are in full bloom......less wind today, high of 58.....garden is being tilled in a few minutes......

Thomaston, CT

We could use a new thread if anyone knows how to start one....rainy & 40 here....may end as sleet or snow....lovely.

South Hamilton, MA

I don't know how to start it. 45° light rain all day.
