THe daytime temps are around april temps, and the night temps are mayish.... IF they hold up, in a week r 2 my fargesia should spring back to life, and I can start to dig up last years dead stuff, and start my compost heap.
Also, my pampas grass sprouted ( indoors) and so did my strawberries

What part of Canada?
We are way behind--trees that would normally bloom in mid Feb are just now starting to bloom. Two years ago my citrus trees bloomed in Feb--they are not even thinking of blooming yet.
My winter garden crop has really just started growing--they just sat there most of the winter (cabbage, broccoli, onions, turnips, spinach, lettuce).
I have had tomato seedlings in starter pots since Jan--they are still only an inch tall.
Our soil is sandy enough to plant now, but I have to wait to get the winter crop out.
