Here in north central Texas I’ve got blooms on my nectarine & peach trees. Dandelions all over. I’ll have to pull my trees into the shed on Saturday as we’ve got a frost coming.

Anemone have been in bloom since early January. Hyacinths have been up for 3 weeks.

Hosta, lycoris and daylilies are all coming up. Astilbe just peeking out in the last couple days.

Hi! I searched Substack for other garden writers and found you. I actually love that you wrote Michigan in your signature line. Great idea and I'll have to steal that idea. It's important to know where a gardener is located. I love that you are in the States. You sure do love all the subtle changes in the garden as much as me. Off to subscribe.

I have a cactus covered in prickly pear, and soon Phoenix will be in our orange season, which smells amazing.

What do you do with the horehound?

The only surprise here was the basil: How do you account for that? Our particularly mild winter this year?

I love the sight of daffodils even though I realize they’re just pretty little statues and don’t feed native fauna. Witch hazel is my hero, though!

Lovely pics! A very robust late winter garden 😊 And your basil! Growing this time of year is beyond surprising! I’m in a watch and wait mode for a lot of my perennials—to see what survived our extreme January lows.
