January 31 is Spring???? It is if you’re in Central Florida. In spite of the rain (all day today!) in the Sunshine State, the air is swirling with Spring-like auras. We had a really, really cold winter. We may have lost the Lemon tree and the Dancy Tangerine tree, but the apple, peach, and nectarine trees are all loving the cool days even though they are all specially-bred to fruit with low-chill hours for Central Floridians who just cannot and will not give up trying to grow these normally Northern fruits.
What was fun, though, was that I seeded 150 delphiniums (30 Magic Fountains and 120 Pacific Giants), 23 Mixed Larkspur, 2 seed packs of Moonflower, and 1 seed pack of Nasturtium.
As you can tell, there is no lack of warm weather optimism here. Now if I could just get my Sweet Pea and Carnation seedlings (started some time before Christmas) into the ground, they would be so-o-o happy!
