I just got some manure top dressing down before last nights gentle rain! Gentle rain is really cool, because here in Texas it usually is either bone dry or knee deep.
I went out this morning to pull a few weeds and inspect the manure soaking (yes, that is what I call excitement these days). I was all hunched down there yanking out tiny weeds, and stood up too close to the tree. I bumped a limb and received a nice dose of raindrops down the back of my shirt. After doing a little jig and sneaking a peek to see if any of my neighbors saw that ( Whew!), I turned my gaze towards the limb all prepared to give it a stern talking to. But I stopped in my tracks...
Well, lookie here!
I have counted about 10 blooms so far. They turn into fruits as the flower is pushed off. They will be ripe in late October.
and the mama tree (My 4th season with this pom - I am guessing it is 6 yrs total(?)):

Where are the photos-bummer....So what does that bring each pom down to? May you have a very productive season! My neighbors have seen way too many goofy gardening dances, that's why our front yard is low maintenance and our back is "the garden" - more obscure~Andrea |

The world at large would be a happier place if they could just catch us doing our 'garden jigs' :-0 |

What granny said. Do you sing while you dance? I know I do - helps keep me feet from tangling up. |

Oopsies - I was asleep at the wheel when I said 4th season pom. It is MY fourth season - I think I bought it as a 2 or 3 yr old in a 5 gal pot. I am editing the post up there as well. |
