Pips in Z5

Steve Massachusetts

10 years ago

I love being able to do garden walk abouts on Spring mornings. With 3 days of temps in the 70s, Hostas with a South east exposure are starting to show pips. I'm seeing pips from Golden Scupture, Spartacus, and Empress Wu. This is the Empress' third year here and it should be a good one with 9 pips showing.

And a tiny clump of Narcissus nearby that I don't remember planting.

Wow, Steve, that's farther along than many of mine here in zone 7a! But today we had June-like temperatures, so they are on the fast track now.

I had some astilbe and bleeding hearts pop up where I had forgotten them, too. I guess those "surprises" are the silver lining for distracted gardeners like myself!

Congratulations! You are in zone 5b, I am in zone 5, so there is hope for my hostas in the next days. I also saw the first daffodils blooming today, so hosta life is just around the corner.
But you are also growing seedlings same as I, and looking at those gives a relief.
