Calm Down Time.

Val, to grow daffodils in Florida, it's not impossible but ... you need to dig the bulbs up in the fall (or buy 'em in the fall) and put them in your freezer for a couple months. Then plant them in the ground and they will spout thing "winter's over, now it's "Spring!" That's what my aunt who grew up in Massachusetts learned she had to do!

Thanks Karen. No wonder I never have had any luck with them. I'll try that. I can grow Narcissus(paperwhites) with no problem but very rarely have I seen one of my Daffodils bloom. I thought, they're both in the same family, no problem. Who knew there was another step?

I can only imagine how dreary it is in other parts of the country. The thoughts of winter blues may be weighing heavily on some people. I am fortunate to have sunny days here almost endlessly. May I suggest a Florida vacation to anyone that feels combative. It should take care of alot of what is ailing people. Just a thought

You know it's funny, but I do think it makes a difference. I don't take a summer vacation, I take my vacation in the winter and travel down to Florida (of course it helps that I have family down there). It gets me away from the cold dark winters up here, and by the time I come back up I can see that it is already staying light later. Yes, if you can have the luxury of a winter vacation, I suggest you head south for a couple of weeks.

Val, I too am glad to hear that Dasher is doing so well. I will keep up the good thoughts for him, and yes, please take pictures of his first trip to Petco.
