I thought a garden chat and photo thread would be a good idea.
This way, we have a space to share current pictures and discuss dandelions and other plants.

Pansies are still blooming.
I only keep the most frost-sensitive plants indoors; the rest are still outside without winter protection, just grouped together by the house wall.
Hydrangea is budding.
Bulb flowers are starting to sprout.
Magnolia is developing white tips.
Forsythia has nice buds.
The winter honeysuckle is beginning to flower.
Weeds are growing.
It’s raining as well – could be more.

I am also afraid that it will still be really cold in February / March. By "really" I mean at least a week with temperatures well below freezing.
But there’s nothing to be done about it. By the way, the bulbs are already starting to peek through—I saw that earlier—after the road workers just dumped soil in the front garden, which I then shoveled back onto the pavement.
Yes, I know, it’s not a precisely landscaped flowerbed—but you should still be able to see that something is growing there and not just cover it up.

It's already so warm where you are, but here in the south we don't notice it at all. At night, we have a solid frost down to -4°C (25°F) and even during the day, temperatures barely rise above 0°C (32°F). If I didn't read everywhere how warm it is, I wouldn't even know.
