Spring Emergence: 2011

In keeping with the diary aspects of my blog, I decided I needed to monitor the dates when leaves finally emerged from my different plants.  This way, in the future, I can know if my worries have cause when a particular plant seems to be taking a long time to leaf out (taking into account yearly weather variations).  Will have to update the post as I discover other plants producing green (and some of the listed early dates are "best guesses" as I came up with the idea a little late - story of my life!).
