Yeah hurray for spring! Lots and lots of wonderful things are blooming and the grass is green. Spring came early and seems to be sticking around. The trees are starting to leaf out and this gardener is very happy. My garden helper is very happy as well. There are flowers to smell and then exclaim “achooo” over. It is even more fun to count the flowers and tell mommy all the colors. Sometimes the flowers are so pretty and look so tasty he has to take the heads off and try to eat them. So far none seem to be very tasty once actually eaten so I will trust this is a self limiting behavior. We are really enjoying being outside and the all the fruit trees are in bloom. As long as it doesn’t frost the blossoms we should be in for quite a crop of fruit. Well I won’t count my cherries, peaches, quince, or plums before they hatch…er … grow but for now the blossoms sure are lovely. Come take a stroll but please don’t eat the flowers- I already have a helper for that job.
Cherry blossoms – we have 3 dwarf trees to cross pollinate.
Quince blooms.
The cloud of white is the plum.
The peach. We got a half a bushel last year off this dwarf tree.
My helper.
The redbud tree.
Tulips.
Daffodils.
My new cardinal columbine Clint got me for my birthday.
The next plants getting ready in the wings.
The strawberries and poppies
The lilacs are starting to show some purple.
Hope you enjoyed the stroll. Thanks for not eating the flowers.
