Subject: RE: BS: The Spring Garden (N. Hemisphere)
Ouch! Bobert, you're a real cut up! Having nicked myself a few times out in the garden, I know it can happen.

Everything is bursting forward here, pity that most of it is weeds I'll have to pull or mow soon. But there is a lot going on in the "sanctioned" part of the yard as well.

  • Texas star hibiscus is sending up shoots
  • Daffodils all over the place
  • Blue iris blooming
  • Yellow iris sending up stems
  • Salvia gregii blooming profusely everywhere
  • Cannas sending up shoots (and I've transplanted some so they don't take over my porch)
  • Spiderwort that I transplanted from the woods last year is looking marvelous in its rich blue flowers
  • Wisteria blooming
  • Redbud at absolute peak right this very minute
  • Leaves coming out on baldcyprus, metasequoia, vitex, and desert willow
  • Lots of flowering weeds in the lawn
  • I'm probably missing some stuff

    oh, yeah,

  • mosquitoes out
  • something is munching on my tomatoes already
  • lots of fire ants in the yard
