Tangled Branches: Cultivated
happenings in and around my zone 6b gardens in northern Virginia and in central Virginia

Weather: going into our 3rd day in a row of gray, wet, cold weather. A little light snow overnight and more predicted for later today. Monday was beautiful though.
Birds: there was a big flock of grackles and starlings in the backyard yesterday afternoon. The grackles raided the sunflower seed feeder, but didn't quite empty it. Juncos are still here - I always think it isn't really spring until they leave.
Plants: Ice Follies daffodils started blooming - not my favorite daffodil, but welcome anyway because it is so early. My oldest rosemary plant is looking very brown and dead. There is a bit of green inside it closer to the ground. Hoping it will come back if I cut it back hard. I just read in the NY Times this morning, that the fig trees at Monticello died back to the ground in the cold weather this winter. They are hoping they will come back if they cut them back hard....
