Mine aren't up that much, but are starting to show signs of life. Being up against the house there kept them even warmer, but yes, it has been one of the mildest winters on record for the US. I sure hope things stay mostly dormant for a lot longer, though!

I have to agree with Chris, things are popping here too. I have to keep telling myself we have a month of frost to go and stop myself from pulling out plants.

I've got stalks forming in the fans already. At least 2 weeks early.

Everything is coming up here early. 83 yesterday (30 degrees higher then normal) and it's been off and on like that all winter. I started moving iris and day lilies a week ago.
