Spring Has Sprung

Our last freeze date here is supposed to be April 17 and the last several years it's been around the 21st of April. I've got celosia, geraniums, zinnias and tomato plants ready to plant. The daffydills are almost done blooming. I planted hyacinths and daffydills in the long bed between Science and Admin. The fragrance was wonderful. You could smell the hyacinths before you could see them. I love it. I thought the Lorapetalum chinensis bit the big one because it got so cold for so long this winter but they have new growth popping out. The lilac should be blooming in the next week or so.I am so glad spring is finally here.
