When we got home, the fruit trees were all done blooming and are loaded with cherries and apples. Our young trees, sour cherry and apricot are doing great and I will have to take some pictures of them come harvest. The big old apricot tree we cut down because it was interfering with the gas line (above ground in Ukraine) has started regrowing and the branches have fruit this year.
Anyhow, here is the flower garden as of yesterday.

ReplyDeleteThose who love gardening should do it, as it brings them joy. Those who do not love gardening should stay away from it, but can admire the gardens of others. As I do.
ReplyDeleteMayB, in a few more years it will be an absolute "botanical garden". This fall we are buying a greenhouse.
ReplyDeleteRB, that is me, too. I love HER garden and am so proud of it and of her but I stay completely away.
That looks like a lot of work. Beautiful.
