I just can't believe this weather!! The normal high today is 43 here! My lilac is leafing out, the maples are flowering and the forsythia is about to bloom!

I have all my bananas outside, planted a palm yesterday and worked on mulching some of the beds -- usually work that I perform in mid to late April! Here are some pictures of my yard / plants.

Oldest trachy looking great. Glad I uncovered him when I did!

Other trachy filling out nicely.

Here is one of my trachycarpus wagnerianus that I planted yesterday.

Yucca color guard.

Magnolia bronzed out.

Buds and stems look great.

Rhododendron looks great. Mulched with pine bark. Should help lower the pH nicely for the rhododendron.

Look how green the grass is already!!

Another angle showing the yard greening up really early!

Can't wait to plant the other beds, but I'm not gonna jump the gun. Would hate to plant early and then lose everything to a late cold snap.
