Pussy willows are just popping today, some bud swell in the fruits but a ways to go here.  Expecting snow tonight or tomorrow...

Exciting for me is I got a lb of Phil Rutter's prime Chestnuts via Mark Shepard last month & I potted up all of the very large ones. A month later they are all popping up quickly.  They're planted in 4" pots under lights & they gonna outgrow them pots mighty quick, so Im thinking of planting them direct in the ground inside tree tubes in a month..
