Jazzy, spectacular weeping cherry

Spectacular was also the first word that popped into my head when I saw it!

Unseasonably warm weather here prompted me to go out and wrangle my Rosa Kiteatericae (possibly a climbing Cecile Brunner, but with thorns like fish hooks. Big ones.) I'm raked stem to stern, and there's another half of the canes to go tomorrow....happiness.

Queen- very satisfying work indeed. Well done.
I thought I had lost this plant, having not cared for it well over the winter. It's tarragon, arguably my favorite herb. Today I discovered 3 little bits if new growth just before I was going to throw it in the compost heap.
I am so grateful it's not dead it earned a coveted spot in my sunny kitchen window until it can make it outside.

Phew, lucky tarragon! I've wanted to do that for a while, but for me the poor things just turn toes up. Mints, on the other hand.....next time, I'm planting mint under the Rosa Kiteteatericae, right next to the catnip. Let them fight it out. But a happy hour grubbing around in the dirt and leaves; my nails are sad, my rose resentful, but I'm calm.

high winds left me with this mess this morning. I asked the handyman to look at it. It was all made with light (cheap) poles and connectors, and most of the connectors seem to be broken. He says it's not worth saving.
It was here, all planted with tomatoes when I moved in last year. So I didn't spend any money on it, even thought it a bit unsightly, but it delivered great fruit for 3 1/2 months. I might have to pay to have it taken away though.
Sniff.

Hi ladies- I was out last night for a business dinner and the parking lot at the restaurant was filled with bloomed pear trees. The end of the day sunlight made them so beautiful. The fragrance on these is divine too!
My friend who came in for a visit this weekend wants to go to the botanical gardens later today so we are going to do that!

Good morning friends!
I have company here so on the run, but wanted to share another bloom from time around town yesterday. We went to Old Town and I snapped this one of the plum tree near the church.

Teka- my friend who is visiting found some fun socks in Old Town yesterday with this very pattern! You need to find some of those on line!

All the beautiful, beautiful blooming trees. Hoping to get a chance to walk around over the next few weeks and see what's blooming.
Balthasar: The shed does look like a pic out of a magazine or tourism guide-of somewhere I would love to be.
Teak. LOVE the kitten-williow. Saved that pic.
Jazzi I am searching for the socks. Did she find them with the oussy willow with the kittens??
Asante

Wow, lots of spring blooms. I see I need to move to Oregon, Texas, or New Mexico! I have no blooms, but my neighbor's crocuses are blooming, and I saw a robin and a bluebird this past week. My neighbor was out raking her beds so I got out to do the same - raking up the old hosta leaves and digging some grass out. There's nothing like garden therapy.
Balthus, I also love that beautiful bright shed!

TwoHobbies.. my neighbour has a wonderful garden and I'm always enjoying the things that are blooming in theirs too.. some of them hang over my fence. I always tell them I get the pleasure of their garden , and they get all the work 😃 Your right.. Gardening is great therapy!

TwoHobbies, what state do you live in?
I spent time reddin' up the backyard today, too. Ran the cordless hedge trimmer over some of the evergreen shrubs to whip them back into shape then raked up the debris.
Yesterday I moved a green garden bench off the back porch into an area in the yard and spray painted it a brownish-bronze color. It was so quick and easy and fun to do. I at first thought I was going to have to get out the paint and paintbrush for a tedious chore but found some left over spray paint just the right color. Jumped in the car, went and bought a few more cans the same color and voila! Looks great

Mrs M.. That sounds such fun.. Nothing like a coat of paint to change, or bring something back to life.!

Heres a pic of two pots I replanted yesterday near my front door.. I can't wait for the plants to grow now :-)

Looks so nice, Lucy! I'm a big fan of symmetry. As the coleus get larger, they will look even prettier with the brick background

Divine- how about some pics of your bench! How fun! And rewarding I bet also!

Lucy- very nice statement planters! Your entry looks very nice and inviting.

Lucy, its great to have neighbors who plants beautiful things you can enjoy too! I'm glad you joined us. I look forward to seeing what grows in Australia. Your coleus remind me of my mom because she always planted coleus on her north facing porch. Those are so pretty against the brick of your house. Love your frog too!
MrsM I'm north of Chicago. How much earlier is everyone's spring? My sedums are sprouting and I do have daffodils about 4 inches out of the ground and irises popping through. We are definitely trending upward but still some frost at night.
I put my two planters in the garage last year and I think the geraniums and something else that I can't identify at the moments may be alive. I see green so when frost passes I'll bring them out and see how they look.

Hi ladies- I was up super early to take my friend to the airport (and with the time change, ugh) after a busy couple day visit. We walked around the neighborhood yesterday to see the spring blooms and here are some highlights. I promise to post a pic of my weeping cherry today or tomorrow, just about in full bloom and so pretty.
Pictures from yesterday are red bud and magnolia
