Overnight all the bradford pear trees went into full bloom. They line a lot of streets around here (even though they break easily). The maples and oaks are in bud, and I have loads of flower buds on my dogwood. But everything is still behind. The flowering quince still hasn't flowered, and the cherry and tulip trees are a ways off.
No work in the garden yesterday. Have a pallet of stone being delivered tomorrow morning so I can start making and expanding some garden beds. It is suppose to rain tonight into tomorrow, so Saturday I hope to dig out some sod (while the ground is soft) and add space to my Louisiana beds down by the creek. The ice storm we had did some damage to my pale yellow LA, but James Dickinson looks to have lots of increases. And I will be adding some more varieties this year.
