AV1611Corbin777 · 03-10-2010, 10:55 AM

Calling for highs in the low 70's today's. Plant will be catching some real sun finally. Unfortunately still another month+ before I plant. Frost this weekend.

Anoter 3 weeks of this weather it will be nice to see everything growing.. (not just the nectarines, almonds, peaches, and cherry) :^)

so i just did a perimiter around the house. On the south wall, about a foot away from the foundation is thawed... Same with the south wall of my garage. Most of the snow is gone too. The weather has been warm, its official, the warmest winter in canada EVER. Also 60% less snowfall, and 30% more rain.

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.

canadianplant · 03-10-2010, 02:57 PM

Im in Thunder bay Ontario. THis winter was WARM as hell ( for us atleast lol). But for canada as a whole too...

Lagniappe · 03-10-2010, 03:01 PM

I watched a tree frog catching insects on my window last night, and an anole doing the same today.

oooh you have wild anoles down there? We've had one from a pet store living wild and free in the plant room for about 2 1/2 years now!! They are so cute!

LilRaverBoi · 03-11-2010, 01:09 AM

We hit 73 F or so today (maybe higher...that's just the number I saw mid-afternoon). I also saw two robins out my window yesterday (the first ones I've seen so far!). Everything is still dormant right now...except small daphodil shoots that are above the ground....but looks like spring isn't too far off!

Then again, this is the midwest LOL....it'll probably snow 8" in a week and decide to stay cold for another month

Don't you just hate it when it warms up and you get that great spring feeling and then a cold front comes in and stays for a week or more.

We have had highs around 80 and lows near 60 for the last few days. The buds on the trees are starting to open and everything is starting to green up. I have a couple pups that pushed up a couple weeks ago and now every banana is pushing new growth.

Our ten day forecast looks close to average so I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Well the frost warning expired no frost last night thats great. I was out there in the dark this morning before I went to work uncovering my bananas in the ground so they could get some sun today. People might think I lost it. Im excited about the upcoming growing season this is my first year of growing bananas. Were getting 70's next week

No, I think that's called thinking out your day :^)
Well the kids are out for Spring break next week and the temp's sure look like spring... Not Hot, but not freezin' (which is a dog-gone good thing) High's in the 60's Low's in the 40's. I guess its another week in the office for the nanners (thinkin' its getting pretty cramped in there... they need to get the hell out!!!) lol :^)

ewitte · 03-12-2010, 07:17 AM

Every day on the 10 day chart is high 60's or low 70's. Just had a few days hit 80

I put some Bannana Fuel on my plants last night, first time in about 4 months.

Jananas Bananas · 03-12-2010, 09:03 PM

Today I have been planting and repotting. Bought a dozen or so new baby bananas from Jimmmy on Wednesday.

He does have some nice plants... I've been putting mine out since the sun is so bright & warm. The wind is the only reason it isn't over 70 today. I know the banana's are growing so I can chill, and actually enjoy this mild weather.. Next thing you know we'll be sweating our duff's off.. :^)

Jananas Bananas · 03-17-2010, 08:39 PM

Another beautiful day here in Central Texas. Some Spring blooms here at my house.

Bob · 03-17-2010, 09:01 PM

Hi Janan.......daffodils just starting to peek through soil here,,,,,,, You Stink!!!!

Jananas Bananas · 03-17-2010, 09:09 PM

HA! HA! HA! But I TOOK a shower!

Just remember Bob, when you have things blooming and a pleasant summer, mine will all be burnt to a crisp in triple digit heat. I'll revel in it while I can! ~J

Scuba_Dave · 03-17-2010, 10:30 PM

I think it was close to 60 today, mid 60's tomorrow
Warm & sunny thru Sunday...possibility of hitting 70
But the weather report keeps changing

Crocus' are in full bloom
Rest of the bulbs are getting there

enigma99a · 03-18-2010, 03:08 AM

With all the heat lately, I've forgot how summer feels... 81 in my room here at 1AM. (attic is hot, keeping the house warm) Guess opening the windows would help, but then again I've been waiting for the heat for so long it feels nice
