I forget when it usually leafs out. Right now the daffodils are blooming, so perhaps it is early yet. I enjoy seeing how different your gardening season is from mine. You've already eaten your first potatoes; we haven't planted ours yet (though I grant you we could have). You yank Japanese honeysuckle out of the ground; I pray mine made it through the winter. At least I don't have kudzu! But we do have pasture rose, which is wonderfully fragrant but damnably invasive.

We still don't have any open buds in our yard. This waiting is KILLING me. I seem to recall reading another blog recently about the same problem. 1/2″ thick stems is pretty thick, I’d say!
