Some things finally peeking out of the snow!

[M. Frary]

Look what I found looking back at me. It won't be long now. Another month and it will be spring! Maybe.
So far everything looks to still be there. The junipers are doing good. My biggest chinese elm doesn't look so good though. Fine twiggy looks to have died off due to cold. I don't think it gets down to close to 40 degrees below zero. Time will tell.
Pretty soon I will be able to get a shovel in the ground. Yahoo! Probably wear one or two of those out this spring.

Me too, the snow is almost gone over my trees now. More than a month ahead of schedule, sometimes end of April until they melt out. Its so early I'm actually not sure what to do with them, kinda hoping winter comes back, this time of year anything could happen really.

 

[wireme]

Ha, just took a pic through the window from the couch!

Same thing here. Too early to be melting. I know we will still get some winter weather here.

Yikes! Your snow is almost all gone! Do you have some place to put them for when the new growth is out but you still have a hard frost?

 

[wireme]

Well, they are well mulched with coarse pumice, still frozen solid, soggy on top. It will depend on weather but probably just leave them mulched and water if needed.

 

[wireme]

I don't have too many d-trees if they leaf out early, I can do the dance with them I guess!

 

[Cypress187]

Huh, you guys still have snow? I had like maybe 1 week snow..

 

[M. Frary]

Forgot about the pumice mulch!

I thought Wireme would have more than he does. But yeah, here where I live it's not unusual to have snow falling in April. The kids have had to hunt for Easter eggs in the snow some years.

I have one or two freezeing days most likly as we always get a random day but it's been 70 and 50 for low. I just collected a large pear today!

 

[wireme]

Woohoo, that's more like it, keep'er coming! Ooh @#$% yeah bud, going skiing, out for a rip!

 

[M. Frary]

Supposed to get some more snow and cold also. We didn't lose all of our snow to begin with. I checked yesterday and almost all still have a good blanket of snow. Plus all are still frozen solid and to the ground. Too early to be warming up.

Same thing in Southern NJ. Warmer temps and it is time to do some magic. Much collecting to do after I've marked about 15 during last fall. I'm ready!!

Three more inhces of snow yesterday. We now have had over 108 inches this winter and set and all time record. I still can't see my trees.
