    Yogatyme, My DH accidentally rototilled them a couple of years ago and never got new ones. Might go try to find them this year.

    Waiting for these before I start my garden this year. We are supposed to have another snow storm this weekend.

    The world is a heavy place right now. So something to make us all feel a bit lighter today

    It is a yellow world in our part of the state. The pine pollen is everywhere and hoping for a good rain tomorrow. Too bad the covid 19 isn’t as visible!

    If they're rotting at the root, I would suspect over watering. I think I've started them by laying the leaf on top of the soil and letting the roots develop that way.

    Not my photo, but a picture of the poppies in bloom in southern NM from Facebook

    I photo of a weeping cherry bloom from my back yard. Unfortunately, the birds have been picking my tree bare of the stunning blooms so I don't think I will have a good photo of the full tree in bloom to share with you. But I think I solved a mystery just because I am home more here in March and figured this out.

    Last year, I had noticed that the cherry was not doing as well with the spring blooms. I have lost trees in the past due to bores and one side of the tree did not look healthy. I pruned that back the summer before last and the tree actually never looked fuller and more healthy than last summer. I thought the poor bloom last spring was related to a sickly tree.

    Anyways, what I have observed from my bedroom window this March is rosie red finches systematically picking the blooms off. They drop the flowers and seem to be eating whatever is underneath (perhaps the seed from the beginning of the fruit). What changed? I moved the feeder to the back yard a couple winters ago. I need to find a new place for the feeder next winter. Plus I have a family of quail that visit and they eat off the bottom branches too. The struggle is real.

    Enjoy the bloom!

    My milkweed disappears as quickly as I plant it or leafs out. Ravenous monarch catapillars are even eating stems.image

    Hubby had a network job to do at a winery, and I sat in the car and took pictures. This little tree was starting to bud.
