Our up and down weather has confused the plants. Right now it is windy and chilly, very brisk to say the least. That did not stop me from sprucing up the planters and taking stock of what’s happening. Lilies are coming up, as are hyacinths. Grape hyacints are blooming. Daffy’s sent up shoots but no flowers. I’ll have to get more bone meal. Lettuce doing very well; I’ve had a few salads already from this crop. Hope the weather report is accurate and temperatures will warm up a bit.

Is it possible that there wasn't enough "Chill period " for the daffys ?
It might also be the depth below the frost line ?

I am cravenly some nice 70 degree weather. LOL I love the hyacinths. We have a few, and I would clip one off each week and bring it indoors for the smell.
