Winds and Warming

Spring                   Waning Seed Moon

Sunny but cold, winds hit 10 mph and temperatures in the low 40’s.  Quiet but steady rain over the last three days and the green-up in the perennial beds is well underway.  I saw the first garlic shoot above the soil yesterday.

The predictions have higher temperatures:  NOAA and the WCCO have 78 on Thursday while the Weatherunderground  predicts 70.  Heat will spur the process of plant growth.  Tulips and daffodils by the weekend.

Drive into the cities at this time of year from the northern exurbs, the daffodils and some tulips have already begun to bloom.  30 miles further north than Minneapolis and St. Paul, we lag the cities by almost a week in bloom time.

Tour prep time.
