   We had several days of temperatures in the 70s (21C+) and a few native fruit plants started leafing out: elderberry, currants. The blueberries look like they want to bloom.

   Native plants that stayed put: hazelnuts, serviceberries, bramble berries, persimmons, plums, pawpaws.

   And all my overwintering poppies germinated. 😭😭😭
