It’s been an early spring. Weatherwise, we’re at least two weeks ahead of where we usually are this time of year.
I have posted a picture of this group of daffodil flowers previously after a spring freeze. However, I won’t get the opportunity this year. I’m more than ok with that.
Notice the deep edges on the beds, I edged the bed a couple of days ago. The lawn is greener than usual because of the warm weather.
This picture of daffodil flowers was taken on April 12, 2021.

Thanks, John. Now that Spring is here, I always tend to re-think if there is a better way to edge my flower beds, but I like the natural edge. Perfect timing for your note. Now I need to go to work!

I’ve got a very old video on edging here https://youtu.be/lYeGGAUhj4w . If you go to the end of the video my preferred method is to use a spade, it cuts great curves.
We have had a very early spring here too, I was out pruning in early March (Wisteria) and paniculata hydrangeas, spirea etc. Now today it is 27 with a ‘feels like’ 17, wind and blowing snow. Not a good outlook for 10 days. I did start clean up but did not remove the leaves from plants, just dead foliage, I know North Dakota weather. Just hope the wisteria is going to be ok. I wrote a long post on your new post for today but there was no ‘post comment’ box, so now all my words of wisdom are gone:( Love your daffodils!
I see we’re going to be in the upper 30’s in a couple of days. You are my early warning system for cold temps!
Working in early spring is a bear. The mud, the rain, the sleet, the snow, the wind. Sometimes I shiver just thinking about it.
Your Wisteria will be fine, even if some growth gets ‘burned back’ by the frost, if the new growth has started since pruning, wisteria is a very vigorous grower and will get through with flying colors.
I do not work in that kind of weather, it’s called a day off. I know better weather is coming and that’s when I make up for lost time. In ND spring doesn’t usually come until late April, so what I have gotten done so far this year is an unexpected gift. Stay warm and dry!
