yes, snow, rain here with mild winter temps in the 30's but it will drop close to zero this weekend....

I bought those small pots with amarillis from Costco this year and they are finally producing blooms.....I kept my old amarillis from last year and they did produce green sheaths but no flowers so I won't waste my time again....

my big thing this coming season will be two things actually....more tomatoes for tomato juice....I made a terrific batch...and lots of red peppers and some red jalpenos for making red hot type sauce....so very easy to do...

I had the same problem with amaryllis until this year. No reblooming just lots of leaves. So a friend who had success and some internet study helped. Watering promotes leaf growth. After dormancy and summers worth of bulb growing, everything the bulb needs to produce a bloom is in the bulb. So this year I took my 4 bulbs out of the closet, a couple of weeks ago and just set them in tote bags in a warm dark corner. Three if the 4 are already pushing up flower beds.
