Normally I like my weather a little on the cooler side. But this is ridiculous! It's an absolutely gorgeous Spring day. The sun is beautiful, and has been all day long. There's almost no breeze. Everything is lushly green after last week's rain.
The problem is, it's only 47 degrees outside!
My winter hardy perennials are all doing well. They don't seem to mind the cold. But it's clear we won't be rushing planting season with weather like this.
Tomorrow at this time it should be 75 degrees and windy. Jumps like that are hard on the plants, and hard on me. Whatever happened to those wonderful Springs I remember where the weather GRADUALLY warmed up?
Today I'm wearing a fairly heavy ribbed turtleneck top. Tomorrow I'll be looking for short sleeves, but most mornings it's a crap shoot as to what to wear and I end up changing clothes partway through the day. I'm ready for more even temps!

Hmm....47 degrees??
I can think of somewhere that offers much warmer (read hot) weather, no Winter or Sring. Actually, in this place it is Summer all year round essentially. No prize for the guess as to where this place I am talking about is! ;-)

Yeah, yeah yeah....I know where you're going. I don't mind cool....but 47 is a bit more than cool. I'd be happy in 60-75 degree weather all year round, but my perennials wouldn't be as happy.

Buff, in this place there are no perennials, flowers bloom year round here! :-))

I think that means they are all perennials. An annual has just a one season life span and has to be replanted each year.
That definition looks good in print, so I'm sticking with it!
