We have had lovely weather lately, almost too lovely, with temps in the 70s during the day. My Fiji apple tree is already pre-budding and my roses in the front yard are growing buds. This is too soon, as we always get one or two more frosts in February or March that kill off any buds or blossoms on my fruit trees, resulting in a fruitless tree for the harvest season.
My citrus trees are budding, but they have beein inside for a month and will remain inside until April. The pepper trees are looking healthy being wintered over, but my tomato plants seem to have called it a season. The one exception there is the stem I cut and placed in water last month. That stalk is now with roots over four inches long.
I hope we get rain soon to stave off an early drought, too. Although this weather is great for hiking, I worry about the plants.
