Almost Frozen & Temps Dropping!


Drooping Daffs ...
I went out this afternoon to cut the almost blooming early red tulips and did a little yard tour.  First I encountered the big drooping daffodils in the front yard.  It's hard to tell, but only 1 bloom could be saved, the rest were frozen & iced over. The forsythia bushes had been frozen and had turned an orange/yellow color ...
Frosted Forsythias ...
The red tulips around the outhouse looked good, so anything close to blooming was cut to bring inside!

Finally, the rhubarb bed that is used for natural dyeing had a bit of snow, but the hardy leaves shrugged off the cold so far.  Hard to believe, but after dipping into the teens tonight, the long range forecast is calling for temps in the 70's next Saturday ... ahhhh, Spring!
