We have one very confused rose bush in our backyard. It already has a couple of buds, but we had a few freezing nights last week, so I don’t expect those to flower.

Your daffodils are early, too. Should be a couple more weeks – closer to St David’s Day, March 1 (says your friend with Welsh roots).

The picture is cut off on the blog, but when you click it it’s all there, just sideways.

Yes

What?

As Anne said, the photo is cut off on the blog, but if you click through you can see the whole thing, but sideways. Was it rotated at some point?

And here we had some beginnings of daffodils and jonquils and whatever, but that was before the ice storm and then the snow storm so there’s no telling whether any of them will show this year. I guess I wait to see.

The knitting 2 inches and not gaining any length phenomena is real. And yes, photo is cropped at top and sideways when clicked.
