Went into the backyard to do some night gardening to salvage something of the day. Man, it’s not just the trees continuing to grow branches through the winter; my spring flowers are full-grown and ready to bloom and some of the trees are regrowing leaves already.

Never seen that before even in years of mild winter, but then maybe wasn’t looking for it. Haven’t seen it in plants off my property, either, it could have something to do with all the weeding and tearing out vines and roots and this year mulching leaving then with more energy stores than they’re used to.
