Last day of January, and the temps are up near 60F and the nights are only dropping down to about 38-39F, which can only mean one thing-buds are swelling. Cripes, thought atleast I'd have a few more weeks of getting ready, but nope, so I did some repotting today. A few Acer palmatums, and a nanking cherry. I hope to do the two big tridents this weekend, and will no doubt need more akadama, as I haven't got enough, I fear. Nothing like working, then coming home and repotting for a couple hours, kinda centers you.
The california buckeye is swelling majorly, and will put it out of the garage if it continues (like it will stop with these temps) this weekend. And even though I might be a bit flustered with the crazy temps, nothing makes me happier than thinking about the color of green of those first few leaves of spring (even though spring might be in Feb this year).
