I have noticed that some of your plants are ahead of mine and mine ahead of yours. Perhaps some of your plants think they are in a warmer microzone than mine. I have been dehydrating all week and cutting back the spring perennials. There is always so much to keep up with this time of year. I am trying to use up things from last season before the harvesting and preserving begins. That Azalea is my all-time-favorite in the garden. I have had it for over 20 - 24 years now, hard to remember when I got her. ♥
