We are still snow covered here. You are well ahead of us. Those daffodils are sure to bloom in the next few days.<br />P.S.

That said, my garden wall that gets the south sun doesn't get it till about March 1 or so, going from no sun, to full sun in a matter of days after the angle of the sun clears the large house directly beside me. The result is same as yours...things bloom later than everywhere else around me in the early spring. That said, it kind of makes me smile when my lady banks is still around and blooming its head off several weeks after everyone else's has turned back into bush form.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524574998937986323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197675594705561075.post-65770690626056155802011-03-26T13:25:28.688-07:002011-03-26T13:25:28.688-07:00Usually my micro climate helps with all the masonr...Usually my micro climate helps with all the masonry in my yard, but the temps remain low and the buds hold tight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197675594705561075.post-59903365596796851892011-03-26T07:20:28.885-07:002011-03-26T07:20:28.885-07:00Summer is the time of full glory, but you're r...Summer is the time of full glory, but you're right - in spring you have to look close.
