My garden is buried under about 6"s of snow so far and more is coming down. Since it's -11, I doubt I'll see any signs of spring for awhile! I'm really envious that spring has started already by you! I can't wait until ours begins.

I have Crocus, daffs and a few tulips coming up. believe it or not I was over at my Mother's on Whidbey Island yesterday and I saw a rose bush in full bloom. I took some pictures. I have seen roses bloom year round but just straggly and this was beautiful. I have a few pansies still blooming. They are so sweet and try so hard. At the beach at Whidbey were some bellis daisies trying hard to bloom. So Sherri, us west-siders have some promise of Spring.
I'll try to post the rose bush. MB
They have full foliage and everything and it is an old plant. MB

Holy Cow Marybeth, that is beautiful and early even for you gals.
Sherri, I wish I could see daffodils, they are still buried under the snow. Soon, it is melting some each day, some day I will see the yard again!!!!!!

Wow, a lot of you gals have stuff coming up already in places where I thought you were buried under snow!
My gardens are all still under 5 feet of snow. It's going to be a while yet. I'll have to shovel the snow away from my greenhouse just to get new plastic put on. Meanwhile, I have lots of peas and lettuces growing in the house. I just started my broccoli seeds last night. Every year when we get lots of snow, I end up shoveling out the one flower bed on the south side of our house next to our porch so I can see my daffodils and tulips as soon as possible. I can see I will be doing that again this year!

Thanks for the pictures Marybeth. I got my morning color fix from them! It is a balmy 16 here and snowing. Here in Chicago land we are getting a good old fashioned winter. The kind we had when I was a kid. I am praying for a early spring though! Winter has been quite beautiful, I'm hoping for a early & gorgeous spring! Keep those pictures coming please!!!

Still buried here too, but I did see that my veggie garden from last year is now melted back, so I will go check on tulips tomorrow!

Yep my daffodils & hyacinths are starting to poke out of the ground. I love the way they smell!
