One of the benefits of living "this far" south is the fact that I've moved to a new Zone - gardening zone, that is. My friends in Chicago are still living with the reality of the anticipated last frost date of April 20, and anyone who's been anywhere near there knows that is just a date on the wall, it could still snow at the end of April.
Not so much down here. Our last frost date was April 10, and I think it's going to hold true this year. The perennials in the back are coming up, and some are even starting to bloom.
As for the trees? Well, that lovely dwarf peach has dropped all it's blooms, along with the weeping crabapples and pears. The redbud is just now dropping out of bloom.
Our current glory? The dogwoods. Here's a shot of the back of the woods - they are truly wonderful right now. The whites are in full rip, and the red ones are just beginning to really swagger.
