Hello Grapevine Readers!

Well, we certainly have had an interesting winter so far.  Until this week, we really have not had any winter weather.  Aside from a few frosty mornings, we have had high temperatures, many warm nights, and a lot of rainfall, especially so far in January.

Many of you have noticed some very unusual plant happenings for January.  Bulbs are beginning to grow, buds are swelling, grass is still green, butterfly bushes have new leaves, and many more unusual  things. Some of you have asked how this will affect the plants in the “real” spring.  I think we will have to wait and see what happens, as we may well revert to real winter weather until spring. 

                                                                                     Sincerely,
