It's great seeing the young spring green, but it's sad to see a hard freeze, too.

Moni, Amarillo didn't have ice, but we did get down to 19 last night with a chill factor of 4. Will be a hard freeze again tonight, but with less wind.

Just a few days ago, we were in the high 80's. Crazy!

Mine leaved in July 2020 after i thought it was dead and i carelessly moved things around and broke it. In 2 weeks it was full of leaves and it healed. This year again it's may and no sign of activity but i'll not tease it again, from this thread I see it takes a whe to break dormancy. I'm at 45deg latitude in central urope

gardens dress accordingly .. and go play in the dirt ... whats this nonsense about too dirty .. if you dont have mud in your eyebrows.. in your hair.. and gritting in your teeth.. you are a gardener.. btw ... this is the type of thing i would do at the very last.. just before heading into to the laundry room to throw everything i was wearing in the washer ... and then up to the shower ... its not the job you want to do first .. lol .. of course.. i only lander the garden clothes.. when they stand up in the corner by themselves because there is so much dirt encrusted on them .. lol .. when too encrusted.. its hard to bend your knees.. lol ... ken

Have your oak leaf hydrangeas leafed out yet?

Ah the hopefulness of a gardener with a dead shrub. I'm doing the same thing with a leafless Cotinus Golden Spirit while one on the other side of the yard is fully clothed in leaves now. Tonight I bent the main branches and they were still flexible so I declared there was still hope. Yes, all Oakleaf hydrangeas here, even a 5 inch cutting in a pot, are fully leafed out now. And I'm well north of you. So sorry :(

welcome newb gardener .... they are.. as you noticed.. in their glory now ... who cares what they look like in spring ... peeps like yourself are looking at everything else at that time ... tulips.. daffs... spring ephemerals ... spring flowering trees and shrubs.. etc.. etc .... they will leaf out.. when the soil warms sufficiently to warm the root mass to initiate spring growth ... just like everything else ... so right around the same time as everything else ...with slight modification due to microclimate .... and that is why you cant find any reference date anywhere ... because its not a variable that is important ... if it lived thru winter.. you are all set ... this simply isnt a variable any of us would care or note.. because ... we know the glory is now.. not back then ... worry about performance.. in the important season ...more than how they get there ... ken

oh red buds on ice that's a sad sight. My red bud tree is all green now, past the flowers stage. Did you know that the flowers are edible and a delicacy in some places. We had a presentation on them for the garden club meeting, I had no idea.

No, Raven, I didn't know. I eat all kinds of flower pedals.... but never had any redbud yet.

There is always next year. :)

My satsuma trees have been blooming like crazy and I had lots of itty bitty tiny little fruit forming and I am really scared this cold front will cause them to drop. I was really hoping for a nice crop this year. We did not have frost or ice but it got pretty chilly which can cause them to drop when that tiny.

The plants in the atrium look like they are very alert today with the chill in the air and having had a nice rain yesterday and last night. It is quite breezy out and currently in the 52 range.

We've about given up on having any spring this year.... I'm sure we had crocus blooming by this time last year, and my front yard is under 4 foot of snow with a winter storm going through today and tomorrow. Several inches of wet heavy snow expected.

From Long Island NY: We had rain all day yesterday, only got to 42 degrees. Saturday and Sunday will be in the 60's, then 70's next week. Yay! My favorite time of year!
