It's Supposed to be Spring in Prospect, CT

I was walking around our yard yesterday looking at the winter debris needing to be cleaned up and even started with some of it.

The bulbs were pushing up their sprouts, but they didn't seem too anxious to leave the warmth of the ground.

The hyacinth has thicker and after I took away some of the mulch, it seemed to stretch a bit.

There is one area of daffodils that is sheltered and they are making their presence known as well.

The lower rock garden is sprouting as well and will get a trimming for size soon.

Hopefully, we will get some consistent warm weather so that the yard shows its stuff to advantage.

The signs of spring for me here in MA are the forsythia bushes and my hostas. Nothing here yet!!

Hi Ed... we've had enough warm days in between the cold ones here in Charlotte that everything is springing up nicely! Hopefully, your spring will arrive soon.

Nina Hollander, Broker your area was already starting to show its colors as I was driving along I-26 as the flowers were starting to show along the roadsides.

Hi Ed,
We're having signs of Spring here, too. I'm just hoping we don't have a hard Spring frost.

Ed our daffodils and crocuses are coming up, but it is still to chilly to feel like Spring.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754

George Souto  I still and unsure as to whether it is safe to put the snowblower away.

Ed mine does not get put away until the end of April.  By the way I bought a new snowblower this year and I am selling my old one if you of anyone who is looking for a snowblower but does not want to spend the money a new one costs.

Ed- I love seeing bulbs starting to poke their heads out. I hope you'll share pics of them when they're in bloom. We have our Azaleas blooming and they're so colorful. 

Mar 22, 2026 04:36 PM
Ed Silva, 203-206-0754

Far too early in our area for azaleas, but within another month I will have color in the yard

Hi Ed. Sounds like someone should be telling the bulbs "don't be bashful" we have global warming come on and start pushing up from the ground. The bulbs may be smarter than humans.

It was too noisy out there Jeff Masich-Scottsdale AZ Associate Broker,MBA,GRI  with the flapping of their leaves trying to stay warm

Good evening Ed,

Hopefully, your spring will arrive soon. In some areas of the country the weather is a little indecisive and not sure if it wants to stay embed with cold temperatures or give into Spring!

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754

Dorie Dillard Austin TX  after the amount of snow we had this winter it is going to be very welcome

Our winters feel more like spring, and since it has been in the 100's already here, it feels more like summer, haha.

Yah, well at least we don't have to worry about getting sun burnt in Match, Brian England

My garlic and shallots have already poked through the ground - but it's a bit early for that here. Hopefully they won't get killed with upcoming frosts/snow which we are bound to still get

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 there are no growing signs of Spring in my yard yet but I believe by the end of the week I will see the mint and the chives coming out of the ground. I did see my first Robin and duck this weekend (the geese have been here for weeks already.

Hi Ed:

Your photos of the emerging bulbs bring back memories of our many Springs in the Boston area years ago.

Hopefully there will be no surprise Spring snowstorms.
