Gardening This January in Zone 8 has been unusual.

Gardening has been Strange here in Alabama this winter, what with Jonquils blooming on
New Year's Eve , Baby's Breath Spirea and Flowering Quince bloom in January and clover
and veitch growing like it was spring. But then the Lady Claire Camellia was 2 months late.

The stranges thing of all was seeing a photo of a Flowering Cherry blooming in Brooklyn, N.Y.
the first half of January on T.V.
