<\/a><\/div>\n

If you’ve been a reader here for long, you know that my favorite season is Fall, but Spring is right behind it. We are having such a lovely spring, full of days with sun, days with rain and everything in between.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Because it’s been cooler than average, the seedlings are still in the sunspace waiting for the soil to warm up a bit for planting time. They are getting bigger and the squash are, in a misguided abundance of hope, flowering already. I do hope to get them planted out soon. The irrigation system and lots of pots are almost ready, too. Our gopher and weasel populations make it impossible to plant them out directly in the soil.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Flowers have been great this year. The bulbs have produced beautiful daffodils (see photo at top of post), tulips and even a couple of hyacinths. The lilacs are at their peak right now. Some of the roses, like bright red Altissimo,<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

have bloomed and more are just starting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The calla lilies have been blooming for a few weeks.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Yesterday I saw the first poppy bloom, but there are a bunch of those almost ready. I planted a seed mix in the winter that included poppies and it looks like they did well, so sometime soon I’ll post photos of those. Today the first iris of the season bloomed and it’s just gorgeous!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

We had rain when the plums bloomed, so there won’t be many of those stone fruits this year to eat. Had some rain during the time of the early apple blossoms, but the largest and youngest tree is blooming now and the weather is fine, so fingers crossed that we get lots of Red Gravenstein apples. Hard to tell with the pears, quince and persimmons because there was some rain but not much during their bloom. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

The olallieberries are just starting to bloom down by the road. They bloom and produce fruit a few weeks before the regular blackberries, so I always get a thrill when I see their lovely white flowers decorating the shrubs.<\/p>\n

I wish I could say that I’ve been getting eggs from neighbors, but here are some like I got a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

For those who celebrate it, Happy Easter!\u00a0 Happy Passover!\u00a0 Happy Earth Day (in a few days)!<\/p>\n
