Snow and cold has been lingering in the north, I've been following the snow cover maps. Some years in recent times spring has been real early around here others not, we had no snow in '12, literally, we had more in October early November '11. Apricot trees are a bit late this year, usually bloom mid April, so the first of May is odd, then the Pears, then the Apple trees, in that order, very possible and seemingly rare to see all 3 at once, from recollection, happened in spring of '11, which was a harsh winter, lots of snow, some subzero weather, we were colder this year I think, most people I know who burn wood, used a lot more.
I've yet to till the upper garden and plow the larger garden patch, the latter of which was just a tad too moist, I'll wait so I don't get clods, the upper is well drained, both on hill facing south, both get all the sun, we have rain now, but it will dry fast, I'm planting early, worst case I have to cover up for frost, have to make a run to the green house, have some started at a friends greenhouse.
Been working on next years firewood before it gets hot and the bugs are out here and another farm, so far so good, 5 cord to buck and split at the house, and I can't even think about how much I need to drag in, storm damage and clean up, and recent dead elm, good honest work, been anxious all winter, snow was too deep to work in for a good part of it, last few years I worked outside in it, not this year, one does get sick of the cold after a good while LOL !
Best wishes Lou, hopefully another good productive season with the garden, and those discarded seeds you got last season are of good benefit.
