Weather is just plain strange everywhere now. A few year’s back I dug up my grandmother’s daffodils from our old family home (which belongs to other people now who couldn’t care less about them), and replanted them on my property. This is a higher elevation and they should bloom sometime in the middle of March. This year, they bloomed the 3rd week of February. That’s nearly 30 days ahead of schedule.
Of course, now the cold weather has returned for a few days, and I had to put a bucket over them last night so they wouldn’t freeze. By tomorrow, the temps will be back in the 60’s. Totally out of character for this part of the Virginia Blue Ridge.
