Spring has Sprung

Blueberry blossoms

Today is the officially the first day of Spring, but my garden and yard do not heed the dates on the calendar.  They sprout when they deem it warm or light enough.  Some years my garden and yard decide to 'spring' later and some years earlier.  This year is actually about average - or maybe a wee bit early.

A couple of years ago we had salmonberries blooming in March and Blueberries in February.  This year the blueberries are blooming in late March, and I'm confident that the salmonberries will not bloom for another month. In my garden the kale that held on and barely survived the cold(er) days of winter is now putting out new green leaves.  The garlic is sprouting, and I noticed that the rhubarb is coming up too.  The crocuses are blooming.  Late March is normal for the crocuses - or is that the new normal?
