Now that it's finished snowing... it's officially Spring. And we're getting a more typical, wetter spring, after a very dry winter. The garden is thriving. Here, Rick weeds the onions. All the alliums are doing exceptionally well.
I've seen the first beans on the favas at our house, although we haven't noticed any at the farm yet. The favas at the farm are a battleground between the black aphids, and their ant protectors, and the ladybugs. We're trying to squish aphids and otherwise let the ladybugs do the job.
The apricot branch on the plum is fruiting.
The cherry tree is in full bloom now.
And the peach has just the last few blooms, and lots of new leaves. All over town the trees are wrapped in that chartreuse haze of new green leaves.
The ceanothus is blooming.
And the irises are none the worse for the snow.
Johnny jump ups are so cheerful.
And, it's official. We've become a two jug family.
