February week 4

This week was pretty much a repeat of last week. I'm still sticking by my claim that spring has arrived, it's just moving at a glacial pace (unlike actual glaciers).

One of the holdovers from last week is crocus,

but this week the blues have been joined by the yellows.

And I swear I saw some daffodils in bloom last week...where did they go? These have yet to open.

Another holdover, witchhazel, seems like it's been blooming for ages.
In the Colonial Williamsburg nursery garden I found artichokes leafing out in a hothouse,

as well as thick-leaved spinach,

and smooth-seeded spinach.
