It has been a bleak , dreary, wintry week in Black Belt Alabama this last week of January and first week of February. But in a few weeks spring weather will return. But it's disappointing
because so many of the bulbs and shrubs you look forward to see blooming are blooming already. With daffodils some varieties have already bloomed and some have not. This week
all the new growth on the Japanese Box, Korean Wintergreen Box, and Common Box was
killed back by the 25 degree weather.
