Crocus Watch 2020: Spring may be around the corner 2020-01-01 - Harrodsburg, KY - Photo by Mike Watson. Mike writes: "Ed always encouraged me to keep a close eye on the Crocus and related budding plants in the early days of January and February. Certainly the recent warm days have encouraged early growth. The earliest that I photographed and CM published were on, I believe, January 14th. However the accompanying photo dates to this morning, January 1, 2020. They poked through the mulch earlier this week, but I waited to capture the progress until the first of 2020."
