Spring has finally sprung!

Tag: Spring is in the air
Well here it is the end of April and spring has actually sprung. We had bad storms last night and it looks like all is well. My Bird of Paradise was blown over but that's not new. The poor little apple tree looks like he got rough treatment as well. But other than that we did well....plants and baby chicks (they got a little wet and were not happy but they were ok). My flowers are up .... finally got warm enough for my dahials from last year to finally poke through. My sky flower is wonderfull although next year I think I am going to have to move it. Never saw anything grow this fast and I'm concerned it might try to get ahold of the house like a wisteria. But it does die back come frost so that should help. Soon as I get flowers and not just green I will have to post some picks of it. Well just wanted to say hi before I get my day started...so hi........ Carol

I knew an antique dealer here in Asheville who grew Birds of Paradise in his rooftop garden atop a downtown condo. He kept three or four in his store as well, and though I could hardly afford to even look at his merchandise, he alwasy welcomed me because I exalted his Birds of Paradise so effusively. Lucky you to have one! Give it a hug for me, okay? |
