Anybody enjoy gardening?

The Lil Miss is shaking off Winter and recovering from being Bunny food.

Some months back before all the hot and dry set in, I moved a small tea rose that was in the way and needed a new home. Then I sort of forgot about it.

Figured it was long dead.

Today among several new growth shoots, it has two buds about to bust open into bloom.

In mid October.

Cozy Miss Rosy, all tucked in to her new bedding.

Kind of have to squint to see the two buds.

Neat.

Sweet.

Petite.


And not at all kooky, spooky or ookey.

Lil Girl was nipped down to almost nothing when I checked on her one morning not too long after those posts. Put her in a chastity cage of steel mesh to save her from being ravaged by demonic bunnies descending on her plot.

Some good growth again this morning and with the warm moist weather this week, she should get more bold by the day.


Forsythia, Iris and Quince are all getting into Exhibitionism too.

This camellia bush has yielded many great flowers so far. Here's another one.

The coral bells (Huechera) are blooming too, now.

My tomato seeds are sprouting over the last 24 hours. I can't wait to get them in pots and set out on the deck, in a few weeks. So excited by silly tomato plants!
I'm growing early girls and beefsteaks, hoping for perfect spring weather to set plenty of fruit before the heat sets in.

Cleveland Pears are blooming.

Forsythia is blooming.

Quince are about to bloom.

Ornamental trees here have been blooming all week. I even realized that my (indoor) potted Ficus benjamina (weeping fig) was flowering. I didn't know they would do that in a pot.

The flower is no big deal. It's a fig, so the flower is enclosed. What you see is smooth, green to yellow and spherical or obloid. It took me a while to realize what the were.
