It's the opposite of the weather here. We have had only one day with some snow in february and maybe 5 nights with light frost...
We haven't got a winter this year.... Last sunday the maximum temperature was 32 °C or 90°F. We had the warmest temperatures of Europe. This abnormal warm weather lasts already a year. Every month, starting with may last year, has been approximately 2°C or 35°F above normal.. And the last time it rained was 3weeks ago! Today en tomorrow cooler but no rain.

Laurens, send some of that heat over here!!!
Joan, I think there is apricot hardy to our zone. I'll try to look it up. I LOVE apricots too!
Somewhere other side of world (maybe Africa?), the main diet is apricots..grown everywhere. They have the lowest cancer rate in the world. I read this more than a few years ago. Can't remember what country.

Hmm.. already warming up..
Looking over this thread I noticed all the temps.. I'm 1* cooler than Skeet in FL right now at 11:16pm..
Weather changes soooo fast here it will make your head spin..
I played in the flower garden today... and found all of my "Pet" snakes in a uhhhh.. rolling mass of "SPRING".. I'd never seen that before.. so I guess it isn't Frank, George and Mike.. got to be at least one or two Sally..
I got with in a foot of them before they seemed to notice me.. They live in my garden and stay cool under the porch in the heat of day.. Just common garden snakes.. Nice little bug eaters.. All 3 soon to be ???? Wonder if I could interest them in a squirrel or two for a snack?? LOL
Hope those that are still chilly warm up soon..
Spring is around the corner!!! Just think warm tropical thoughts!!!
