Yes, a lot of shrubs bloom and the bulbs pop. It's nice in places like Newport, but for most people it's cold, rainy and muddy.

Thanks Dr.Boogie ..... yes Spring in New England is mud season. We are from Boston and NH and at this time of the year our home on a golf course in NH would be at the end of a dirt road with deep tracks from people trying to get through the mud. In Boston it was just dirty from where the snow plows throw the snow up on the banks and sidewalks and along with the snow went the grass verge and the dirt. Pretty soon, when it warms up, the Black Flies will arrive on Mothers Day and torment you until Father's Day, then shortly after that the mosquitoes will wake up and be really hungry for your blood
I agree that New England is beautiful, the flowers you can grow, the veggies you can grow, but the trow season is from Memorial Day until Labor Day .... kinda short really. Summers and short and very hot and humid, and then it's into Fall and Winter is right there around the corner.
At my age now, I'll take FLORIDA and visit New England.
