Bloom Dates For Red Maple, Redbud, Huckelberries, and White Clover

Got some catching up on some bloom dates. Let's start with White Clover. It was the second Sunday in Jan when I first spotted White Clover in bloom. I did not see it on the farm as the clover I planted is not yet mature enough to bloom, but in Leesville at the Lowes in the parking lot. At that point I began seeing it more and more as the days went by.
It was also about that time that I saw Dandelions blooming in Rapides Parish, the neighboring Parish to the east of the farm. For some reason Dandelions have not naturalized here in Vernon Parish very well. My guess is because of the abundance of pine tree forests owned by timber companies who spray huge amounts of pesticides everywhere. However, I am growing some dandelions from seeds this winter and plan on planting them in my yard soon in Hope's that they will begin to naturalize here on the farm.
On Feb 1st I finally laid eyes on proof of what I had suspected for about a week. That is, i finally saw bees working some Red Maple blooms. I promptly went home, opened the hives, and viola my queens were all laying.
This past week, Feb 23-29, I noticed the Huckleberry bushes beginning to bloom and the blueberries looked to be days behind them. Also, just today I saw Redbud trees pushing out their red buds.
Spring is here and the forecast is warm weather (60+ days/40+ nights) for the next 2 weeks. So I'm thinking this weekend may be a good time to start making a few splits and putting on some hive top feeders.
Don't you just love this time of year!?
