When it's frozen outside... bring a 'garden' inside. I've found having fresh flowers wards off seasonal disorder.

So for valentines day i bought lego flowers...
Im pretty anti real flowers.. i come from a family of florists too..
But they cost an absolute fortune, and to me just symbolise death... you jus watch them die..
So lego flowers cost about same as a good bouquet (45 quid)... but last forever...
For the lego botanical range, they are trialing plant based plastic.. they hope to make all lego like this by 2030...

I love your post!
The mild temps we've had over the last two days have me thinking pansies..... I'm ready for the cold to be over and to get my hands in the dirt. And even though I did see some daffodils starting to peek out of the ground, it's still too early. So one has to make do and get the next best thing.
Took a walk around the yard to inspect the 'deer damage' yesterday. Ugh.... They have really done a number again this year.
But... as I was out there I noticed the daffodils are sprouting up. Saw some snowdrops blooming on a neighbor's lawn. We've had warm temps the last few days (got up to 72℉ on Thursday) but last night the temps dropped and we had rain and a few snow showers. I'm just hoping we don't get real warm again for a bit. Always tricks the trees and flowers into trying to bloom before it's 'safe.' And then we get a freeze and lose all the blooms.

Venison ??? I know it sounds mean but id definately be picking them off every now and then...
Hunting is the kindest way to aquire meat in my opinion.. they get to live a natural life, not tortured for a year then killed, probably horribly... and the meat isnt tainted with antibiotics and god knows what...
Spŕing has fully sprung here for a while now, been glorious sunshine and 20 degrees for the last week...
But next week its predicted to be less than 20 degrees and possible snow...
Im sure it never used to be like this...
Believe me.... if it were legal I'd be getting rid of them lol... But no hunting in my area. It's too built up. And the deer are a definite problem. I literally have a herd walk through my property daily (6 - 8 deer). They cause auto accidents regularly; jumping out into traffic to cross the roads. They tried hiring sharp shooters but there was such a public outcry about it they had to stop. Ridiculous....
Weather has definitely gotten more extreme than it used to be.
Spring has sprung... although the snow we have forecasted for today might make it seem otherwise lol... We had a couple 50 degree days and some rain and lo and behold...
This happens every stinking year!!! We had lovely weather a few days ago... around 80℉ and sunny for a couple days. Then it got down into the 20's at night with a high around 33℉. My beautiful Magnolia was just getting ready to pop.... and now look at it.... all the flowers have been frozen and are brown!
My Redbud tree finally bloomed! This is the first time I've had full blooms on this tree since I planted it.
A few more things that are in bloom... not much going on yet. I've had to move and replant my entire garden due to construction.
