My first Anemone bud Anemone Bud is starting to open.
Snapdragons are taking over the pot that I had reserved for my baby
Royal Empress tree. The Paulownia is healthy looking and the "trunk" is getting bigger in circumference, but it is not gaining much in height. That is good, as my concern was that it might get leggy.
My wonderful neighbor gave me this lilac tree while it was dormant, and
although hers budded out much earlier, I am starting to get lots of
leaves and a few clusters where flower may soon appear.
The lizards are breeding like rabbits, and so are the rabbits, but a good neighbor put out some gopher traps, so those mangy little critters have been conspicuous by their absence lately. Yayyyyy!
Also conspicuous by their absence are the leaves on the beautiful Jalapeno plant I have been growing indoors in my Aerogarden. This morning I awoke to find that 2/3rds of the leaves had dropped off in the night. There a zillions of little peppers, all about the size of BB's except for one that is ready to eat and a couple more that are about two inches long. I must have made a mistake measuring the liquid nutes last night. This has never happened before.
