Default This seems to be happening to everyone this year... more tales of bad timing!

This seems to be the year for lots of us to get blooms or a flag popping up late so I thought I'd join in...

First my Veinte Cohol threw out this start of a flag earlier in the week:


Yesterday I was working in the new side garden and hadn't been over there in about a week since it had been raining and cool out. Sure enough...... the Velutina ( or is it Dasycrappa now? ).. threw out this bright red start of a flag:


I guess in New Jersey I should just count my blessings and be happy with it but... NO!
I think I can dig and pot the velutina without disturbing the roots and its early enough I can keep it in my front porch that I'm starting to move plants into now...
The Veinte Cohol....
: (
Too big to bring in and ... since it only takes a few months from flowering to mature ripe fruit on this variety I may try to protect it with a plastic cover...I'll let you know

Really not sure whether to smile or pull my hair out over it... may as well enjoy the success however minor I suppose...
