That is definitely new growth you are seeing. It starts growing instantly as soon as the freezing temps are past. It was above 80F here today. I have a lot of things responding to the days when the temp is getting that warm. It's probably too early, so they may be being set up to suffer a late cold spell at the end of the month or March and maybe even down into April. I'm responding to it myself. I was out clearing off leaves and dead growth which will only encourage new growth and I've been up-sizing some plant containers. I already feel like I'm behind (I actually know I am). In a couple of weeks if not sooner, the cows will begin calving. Spring has already begun to spring. And I'm weeks behind the southern and eastern part of the state.
