Spring is getting ready to do just that....

Bits and pieces flowering now...daffodils for one. Herewith a photo of my tiniest one, a bare 9cm/3.5". The tallest one I grow, a King Alfred, is 60cm/2 ft. Plum trees are breaking into blossom...not yet enough for a worthwhile photo. The sunset tonight was just beautiful .....
Spent all yesterday pruning roses...100-odd bushes sounds like quite a few...they sure are a lot when each one is individually pruned. However, the flowers in another month or two will make all the thorn-retrieving and scratched flesh seem worthwhile. With Adam's help a few more trees have lost limbs..shame not to wait until they flower (cherry, flowering peach) but if I wait 'til they flower, I will say "oh next year will do" (as I have said the last two years) and by next spring, there will be even more to cut away. Like me, Adam isn't getting any younger..we hate to ask the 'kids' for help until we really have to.
Pretty interesting here, isn't it..!! Maybe I will share my shopping list next week...lol..
Cya....
