Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 3974802, member: 9260"] whatever is going on with this spring here (im sticking with, and doubling down on, 'ground warmer than usual since last fall'), the wild raspberries explosive expansion is very obvious as well. we actively manage the plots, and now have many new areas to work with. i don't recall any season where daffys and forsythia on one hand, and azalea and rhodys on the other hand (and everrthing in between like magnolia, dogwood, etc), can have flowers at the same time. howza boot that pollen tsunami! impressive. someone should label this annual time like they do for shark week. mebbe call it 'invasion of the body snatchers time' as it's absolutely killing season with the snakes chomping on young reptiles (and the 'air force' chomping on the young snakes, and so on), and bird egg and fledglings under constant attack from all sides, including sometimes their moms who boot them out and over the wall. where i live, the reemergence of the carpenter bees is usually a reliable sign that the buffet is now open. at least, those guys clock seems around 'normal' this season here, sumtime around mid/latter may. the [I]obvious, open, and notorious drought here? [/I]notsomuch. mebbe in a week or three, the blowhard 'meterological experts' on tv will notice, too. mebbe. looks like the zoysia grass is on its' way to another banner year for expansion, too.
