These pictures chronicle our 'normal' bloom time over the last 5 years. Or maybe late March is the new normal. We are very, very likely to have a killing frost over the next 4 to 5 weeks. Just keep that in mind as you are planning and planting your garden.
Be prepared to cover tender plants. Strawberries are blooming. There will be strawberries in April at the rate we're going. Brambles have broken bud. Any freeze will knock out berries for this year. Peaches are beginning to bloom and apples aren't that far behind.
I'm not sure what I will do if there are no Kentucky peaches this year....I can eat my weight in them!
