It's happened!

Ok - it's official!

At least in my book.

SPRING is here!

I took some pictures of my peach tree (Red Baron, which must be the best peaches ever) just a few days ago. I thought they weren't worthy of posting. Just tight little pink buds, not a flower in sight. Then almost overnight flowers! Lots of them! So hopefully we will have lots of peaches come summer!
The PEACH then.....
The PEACH now.....
here's the PLUM, not wanting to be left out!

Someday these might be LEMONS, so far none have made it!

First sign of spring...

Recently my freesia bulbs started sprouting, but no flowers yet, so no pictures,

the peach tree is full of buds, but nothing opening yet,
no action on the cherry or plum tree,
the lemon tree doesn't know whether it should grow or die -

but the forsythia is ready for spring!
