Lots of cold

We have had two deep cold spells in the last few weeks. Temperatures below 20 are not particularly common here. I have a small gardenia bush in the back yard that was hurt two weeks ago. Most of the leaves are now brown. I don't think it will survive. Daffodils are still budding. I think the cold will just delay their blooming. With temperatures up in the 60s this coming weekend, they will probably bloom.

Lenten roses have not bloomed yet, and my daphine is just beginning to bloom.

It is time to start planning for the summer garden. I also planted so many new perennials that I'm looking forward to watching what comes up.
