It's REALLY spring now

You can tell I'm really ready for spring & summer!  I'm even glad to see the weeds blooming!
I once heard an organic gardener say that a weed is only a plant growing where you don't want it.  So in our yard - there are no weeds!  We welcome anything that is green and blooms!
This bouganvilla blooms almost all year - and comes back strong and colorful after cooler weather or being trimmed.

This oleander is a real survivor.  The mother plant was bent and broken by a hurricane.  A branch that was placed in a pot rooted, broke out of the container & sent roots down into cracks in the patio.  I've nicknamed her Wendy (get it, windy?).

And tiny tomatoes for a future salad

Has Spring Sprung?

The "official" groundhog in PA may have seen his shadow - but Gen. Lee, the southern groundhod did not - so it must be spring.

Our normally colorful bouganvilla looks quite bare, but on closer inspection new leaves and blossoms can be seen.

COME ON SPRING!!
