Funny thing that these Echinocereus weeds appear hardier than the large plants I originally ordered..........which seemed to slowly die off over time. 😕

rechenbachii 'weeds' coming up
Same here, only with the Mexican Feather Grass.
I've found little ones growing in the cracks of concrete, where they OVERWINTERED!!!! AND THEY'RE GREEN!!
Yet little ones that I dug out carefully last fall and cared for all winter inside have ALL died.
Go figure.

Oh, Barb, I wish to plant the Mexican Feather Grass but not sure 'cos mine died being in a pot in 0 - minus 5 C storage conditions. Don't you mind posting a pic of your mature grass?

Tim, I'm judging by the chive pic that you are around a week to a week and a half ahead of me. The chives at my place have flower buds, but none have bloomed yet!

Hi Cameron,
I always see your temps are cooler than mine.....I'm surprised your only a 1 or so behind me. Has the snow melted from your yard yet? 😆

Huh? Really, Cameron????
You want to talk about cold...near zero last night here, tonight too.
Huge windstorm last night from the NW.
BRRRRRRR.
What didn't blow away or croak last night may just do so today. 😐

I bet Barb will be complaining about it being too hot in a couple weeks 😆
Barb's cold now but the temps will be ramping up soon in BC while Cameron will be happy to hit 80F this summer! 😀
Being next to a cold ocean stinks for growing subtropicals. 😡

You're bang on, Tim!

Suffering plants.
Sore back.
Looking forward to the heat ... yup 😀

Looked at your weather sticker, Barb... Was it so cold at 4 am? Minus 1 C? Is it a joke?

It says -2C right now... Hmmm.
Posted : 11/05/2012 9:54 am
Here in Poland we have similar situation:
During days even +29C, at night +15C (like ysterday and now) but forecast for next 3-4 days is about +1C to even -4C at night! I hope not.
Keep exoting!

Heat's here as of Sunday...yippeeeeeeeee!
Godfryd, -4 is terrible after such warmth during the day!
