@dyslexia,
Wow, you've been busy. Last time I saw the garden, it was mostly bare soil in those plots. That light sprinkling of rain we had a couple days ago has everything in bloom here too.

Dys, it has really come a long way! Is that a peach tree in the foreground?

@littlek,
yes K, a dwarf peach, we ate about a dozen from it last year and the birds also ate about a dozen.

@dyslexia,
Peaches off the tree..... one of the best things ever. Kind of ruined me for store-bought peaches though.

@ossobuco,
Carry a one gallon can over to Diane and Dys's house late at night. You can probably snag the whole thing. Which one is the cotinus goggygria?

The site of my fern bed project, under the flowering
crab. The bricks mark dryopteris carthusiana set

my CALLISTEMON has made it through another year. Last year, because of the long term drought and lack of subsoil moisture it almost died. We hacked it back and despite being on water restrictions I let the hose just drip on it.
It still looks rather strggly but another trim up after flowering and it will do wonders.

These are often refered to as bottle brush.

@dadpad,
Wow, dad,wish I could grow some here -- I have a perfect spot for them up front.

However...

Should have a good show this coming spring.

The maple out back is bleeding really early this year.

Click photo for a close look- a couple or three icicles on the lower limb.
Much too soon to hope for an early spring, but what the heck;
it's still a welcome sight.

@neko nomad,
neko, which state do you live in. We in SC Pa are beginning to get ready for sapping. AT the farm show they were saying that we can ex[pect a run anytime after Jan 15 and one of the signs is icecicles on the trunks where old sap lines were conected.

@farmerman,
w that temperatures are letting up, my attention
has turned to cutting this magenta lilac once again
to groom it as a border shrub, much the same as
the violet colored one across the lawn.

The object is to have flowers at eye level, and this should be the
last major cut.

About a little more than a third back should suffice.

Yellow border bearded irises, plus alternating yellow
and red primulas, will complete the scheme here.

I'm in Kingston, Ontario, farmerman.
