The cicadas and crickets just started chirping (almost to a white noise level), so, I turned off my speakers as I thought they were becoming miswired. (and then there are insects here, in this recording as well)2.
redkayak -for sure; but some things can get seriously damaged if open wounds end up getting weeks of sub-0. (i'm in the northeast) the plum blossoms, apples, dogwoods, etc. i have to try to do all within a small window in late winter, or i take a chance. (at least this is what my research has told me. i haven't actually tested this myself)
Hey Uncle Michael!
@northguinehills, he has a huge body of work, was in the Ganelin Trio for years and made some pretty cool records with Andrew Cyrille, Braxton, many others.. mainly in the free jazz idiom that I'm familiar with
I saw him almost a decade ago at the Lincoln Center (?) small spaces. (across the street from the main campus). Even longer ago, caught a bit of him at the Kitchen.
redkayak i love it though! unfortunately it's not my property...but at least i get to take care of it.
-and actually i could prune a lot of these plants by the end of february. apples can take the freeze, to some degree; but last year a tree service came in for the apples in mid-feb (3 out of the 4 are too high for me to reach) and we ended up with no apples at all.
i plan to do the hollies and get a start on the forsythia tomorrow. they can take it.
@coelacanth - Lucky you! I have some big time garden work to do this spring. We want to dig up and expand some flower beds that are long overdue. I can't wait to get back into it again
redkayak are crepe myrtles a natural thing in your area, or are they more of a southern thing? we have 2 here and they die back completely, like an herb, then later than everything else they start budding; but by august they're incredible! they'll never be as big as down south, but they're very rewarding anyway.
-curious how they do elsewhere.
really...missouri? i guess we've been lucky with these.
...yeah last winter was brutal here. not -25 (speaking of Yikes!) but between -10 and +5 for weeks (6?) the roses took it hard, of course; and a few things didn't pull through.
i didn't know what they were at the time, chresti, but i kind of remember seeing them in ca. they're probably beautiful year-round there...if they get enough water that is.
many of my bookmarks are the mbg site. yes very useful. i've even found the san francisco site ("sfgate") useful for basic info. i do a lot of research!
the first spring after planting them the year prior i almost dug them up in june because they still looked dead! i decided to wait a few more weeks and Voila! nearly microscopic buds!
gave them some food and by late august they were astoundingly beautiful in appearance and aroma.

Here in FL, it may get down to 25F/-4C and up to 100F/38C. Although, it's been as low as 7F/-14C and as high as 105F/40C
