Mine initially sent up a few a week ago, then I harvested them because it was heading for temps. well below freezing. Had a good serving of them for a couple of meals. Just noticed today there are a few more shoots ready to bust out, but going to have more freezes later this week.

you wouldn't believe how tall they are already ... i just measured them ... the tallest ones are 7 & 1/2" tall! ... not only that, but i dug them up last fall in their original containers; & just let them start up again in the same pots ... *sigh* i have no experience with bulbs; (can you tell!) & there are TEN sprouts in one little 4" sq. pot ... that can't be good, right? ... the 2nd pot has only 5 sprouts ... common sense is now telling me i should have taken them out of their original dirt & then ... idunno ... split them up; or something? ... why oh why didn't i come here & ask questions BEFORE i made this dumb mistake? i just tried to take a picture, but my batteries are dead ... so i will try again later ... thanks from phyl ... who is wondering if she could still separate them at this point without killing them???

Temps here last week were in the 80s, so everything started really popping up and blooms pooping open. Very nice today too. Worked in the garden this morning wearing shorts and a tank top and my favorite flip-flops. So nice. I let My Girls out for an hour this morning to scratch around and eat bugs and grass. They have begun to lay eggs again and need the new grass to stimulate their egg production. They followed me around, clucking happily and singing their little sighing songs. So cute! The Jane Magnolia tree's flower buds have suddenly begun to swell and there are three flowers beginning to open. I sniffed one and oh, that sweet, one-of-a-kind fragrance! The honeybees and Hummingbird moths are out in droves today supping nectar from the purple Henbit flowers in the grass and visiting all the flowering shrubs. I've even seen butterflies for the past two weeks. Tulips preparing to bloom and hundreds of yellow jonquils, daffodils and purple Muscari Grape Hyacinths are blooming. Hostas and Peonies are poking their noses up through the soft earth and looking good. I could go on and on... The weather radio report yesterday predicts there will be lows in the mid-thirties in the next few days, dropping down into the low-20s on Friday night. Ain't that just DUCKY! If that happens, even if it is just for one night or one hour, I will surely bid a fond but sad farewell to most, if not all, of this year's spring flowers. .I can just kiss the Apricots goodbye...again...for a second year. It will spoil all the new tender growth on the roses and send all the little seedlings popping up in the garden to coldest Purgatory, Glad I didn't set out the Cole crops and onion sets. Unreal

Snowdrops are just the sweetest sights for February - March, aren't they? Nice picture, arrick. Mine are bloomimg too. Have been popping up one by one since Feb. 10. I seem to get more this year, though nowhere near several hundreds that I originally planted. Spotted Eranthis this morning. I planted some Allium 'Globemaster' in 5 gallon pots and surrounded them with bags of leaves. Pulled the top bags out this afternoon and what did I find? 3 Alliums have sprouted. One was over 6" tall!
