The growth this year actually started ridiculously early, on about March 6th when the first Zwanenburg Bronze crocuses poked up their heads. This blog is thus born a little less than a month late. It might safely be argued that the crocuses were born a month early, given that I first noticed them in late March last year. Also, they've already had to withstand ice storms and snow storms with real accumulations. Last year's date is not particularly good because we covered the ground with the remains of our christmas tree and when I took the boughs off, there were already formed and blossoming crocuses beneath. It is snowing again today, and there is every reason to expect the plants to get buried completely once more.
