I saw green shoots sprouting last weekend, which makes it the earliest I've noted new green things in the 10 years I've been paying attention (Previous record a couple of years back in late Feb).Any idea how early it is done South?
Interesting question. I can't find any real science on it, but here's the annual report from a museum in Maryland for crocus sprouting:2010 - March 52009 - February 222008 - February 242007 - March 32006 - February 52005 - February 122004 - February 292003 - March 14Impressive how much variance there is. And if they're up in Brooklyn, they've been up in Maryland for a while.
