Snow and Blooming Squill







Saturday morning I woke up to snow on the ground. Yet that wasn't stopping the Siberian squill that I planted in October. It pushed up through the snow. Now the plants are above ground and about to burst into bloom, even though the temps have only warmed into the 40s F (normal highs this time of year are about 60F), and we have another winter storm predicted for this area. Ah, Minnesota. This winter has gone on too long. I do have some lettuce and peas planted, though I am not sure this weather is very helpful for them. This weekend temps are predicted to be in the 50s, so that will help.
