We still have snow on the ground but clear blue skies day after day for over two weeks. Temps in the am are in the teens getting up to the 30 and 40's late in the day. I put a cover on one of my hoop raised beds (4x8) to hurry the snow melt. I want to plant cold hard seeds in that one as it melts first each year. Begonias, iris and dahlias growing at various stages in the garage under lights. I took cuttings from the only geranium I had and now have five little sprouts doing great. May buy a different one and take cuttings from it now also.
Pond still has thin ice on half of it. Just a man made pond in the back about 15x19 and 3.5' deep. Two fish in the skimmer where they have been dozing for weeks. All others in caves under the big rocks at the deeper end. Can hardly wait to see who made it through the winter.
