Lilacs

[Scott M]

Just wondering if anybody has seen any blooming lilacs? They should start soon in the southern half of the state and move their way north in 2-3 weeks.

Just started to see them in the last week to week and a half around here. Not all of them but quite a few.

My neighbor has an 80-foot hedge and they've barely popped out leaves.

About the same in Isanti. I'm hoping they peak on June 7. We're getting married at our house and the stage is right by ours.

Don't know if we'll get that lucky.

It's a sign from the Almighty - delay the wedding!!!!!!!!!

I have for 14 years! I don't think she's gonna wait on em any longer!!

And actually I've been looking at them from the deck so far but tonight I went up and inspected closely. They ain't as far along as I thought after all.

rule of thumb.......treat for crab grass when the lilacs bloom. We here in western South Dakota are seeing them opened now.
