....one sad daffodil open by the front porch. Another couple weeks and all of Michigan is going to start flowering. Got me wondering. How is Spring coming along where you live? What's blooming?

One daffodil is better than one snow flake. Too early here in western NY for anything other than crocus. Those things will blossom the next day after the snow melts.
 
I grew up with those, pulled my share of high school kid's out when they try'ed to drive on top of them and sunk to the frame. I would just laugh at them.
 
Here In SE PA the daffodils and forsythia were starting when we got that ice storm a few weeks ago with the temps in the teens. The ones that were out got whacked. The late bloomers don't look that good. My understanding is that the fruit trees were not far enough along to get hurt.
 
Me thinks, Larry, you have more energy than any ten of the rest of us combined. Your cacti (midwestern colony) have jumped their pot! I had them all neatly contained in a barrel but I see that some of the pads have "conveniently" dropped to the ground. I am going to have to get after that or they will be all over the south side of the barn!

I see a brave deer tried to eat one...revenge is sweet. :)
 
Still a few snowbanks in Northern Mich and it snowed off and on all day. I was in town this morning and there were a few cars with 3 or 4 inches of snow on them
 
Here in central Kansas the trees have budded, some plum bushes are blooming, the wheat is growing and the grass is greening up. With the rain the past couple of days and with some sun and warmer weather, things should really start popping.
 
You have to be careful with the cactus ,they will grow and spread just by laying them on the ground,no need to scratch the soil up or anything..They are tough,,I started out with one plant
 
Sch. Co in Pa. the crocuses and the daffodils were blooming when we had 24 inches of snow on top of them two weeks ago. I took the snow off them and it didn't hurt them. Paul
 
Well, I'm not too far north of you and we have 3 " of wet snow today. Those things are just now protruding through the ground and now covered in white crap again. I'm ready for all those " 70,s " a state below us.
 
As seen in George's post I have alot of hen bit plus dandelions. I guess the Easter Lilly's did bloom but most of them got frosted, except the ones under the trees.
 

Here in NH we still have a lot of snow from the last storm two weeks ago. We are supposed to get another foot tomorrow night and Saturday.

At work some irises have tried to come up twice with the early warm streaks we've had... but then get frozen.

I haven't even peaked out at my gardens to see if any flowers or rhubarb are coming yet.
 
I see some mustard blooming here in ne Wyoming now, grass is greening up nicely I just finished my spring grain planting yesterday

Saw one crocus yesterday about 30 miles from here on the side of the road on a south slope where the snow had melted from road salt.
 
Daffodils and tulips already bloomed and gone here.. Onions about the size of golf balls. Asparagus producing like crazy, sweet corn up, beets couple inches tall. Been mowing yard, 3 acres, since 1st of Dec twice a week..
Hot dry weather on its way and all goes away by the time ya'all get started LOL. You have to want to garden badly in this country to have any success at it.
 
(quoted from post at 19:23:09 03/30/17) Pecan trees here starting to bud out in South Central La., Old folks say winter over when that happens.

My father in law was a lifetime cotton farmer in central Louisiana. He said that pecan trees will lie to you sometimes. The bitter pecan (pignut, scaled bark hickory, water hickory) never lied would! One year one of his sons who was farming cotton decided to plant his cotton when the pecan trees budded out against his advise. As soon as he got a stand a frost came and he had to replant. My dad and grandpa also used the bitter pecan and never failed.
