Hit the 80s, and one day over 90, this week; back to 60-ish & wet the next few days.

Other than weed control, nothing new; we can still get a killer frost during the next week or two.

Only thing I’ve started is sweet potato slips; everything else will be direct seed, or purchased plants.

Oh, the cherry has blossomed out, and the peach definitely has flowers for the first time ever.

Apple, wild plum, chokecherry, and pear blossoms galore.

Raspberries & elderberries I put in last year are leafing, too; and the strawberries have awakened.

We have quite a few of our fruit trees in bloom. Hoping for some fruit this year. Most of the trees were planted in 2010, but were very small. Some of the apple trees were planted too close to the walnut tree, and died, so we had to plant some more in another location.

We have quite a few edible stuff that just happened to be here. The walnuts, butternuts, persimmons, and blackberries being the chief edibles.
