Trees are starting to bud up, maples are blooming, and the wild daffodils are starting to bloom on the sides of the road down here in 'Bama... I like it!:watermelon:
Used to get excited like that till frost killed and barely get plums or apples and pears . Three years in a row up in N.E. Ohio .Not much to even share with wild life . Now need chicken wire and electric fence to harvest any garden veggies except Hot Peppers seem to survive unmolested witout fence .
