Finally our trees have started to bloom, so pretty in the streets. Many apple and plum trees with pink blossoms.
And after 9 days finally my cucumbers have sprouted through the soil - I was starting to worry that they weren't going to germinate. I won't plant these in the ground until the end of April/early May but am looking forward to many fresh cucumbers this year as well as tomatoes. They are sitting in a spare casserole dish that I don't use very often - why buy things when you can use things you already have. The peat pots came from the dollar store. Once these get larger I will transplant them to pots.
I don't have allergies but have come down with some sort of sinus infection or bronchitis....not feeling wonderful today and didn't sleep at all last night so will keep it short today. To Spring!
Hope you feel better soon and it is a passing bug. No signs of spring here yet. I see lots of Greek salads in your future.
ReplyDeleteYes, Greek salads.....mmmm....
DeleteFeel better soon!
ReplyDeleteOur magnolia is in bloom and there's blossom on the trees - and it's been snowing today! x
You certainly get all weather like us - strange for you to get snow this late in the year isn't it?
DeleteI hope, you feel better soon. Isn't spring wonderful? Everything comes alive and makes us hopeful and happy.
ReplyDeleteSpring is amazing - love the flowers and bumblebees especially
DeleteHope you feel better soon. Lovely to see the cucumbers put out their first leaf.
ReplyDeleteJoy
Thanks! I only bought one cucumber plant last year but absolutely loved having homegrown fresh cucumbers, I think if 6 of these make it I will be happy
DeleteWe have had recurring respiratory/sinus issues unlike anything in years past, so our sympathies are with you! I love cherry and apple blossom time but am thrilled to finally live in a yard free of those trees. Lovely to look at, horrible to clean up after!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have any in our yard, our neighbors have a cherry tree though that drops stuff into our yard - yes for crappy cleanup.
DeleteBeautiful photos. Sorry you’re ailing. I do have allergies. A sneezing fit every day that wakes up the dead ... and the neighbors probably. Probably should do so,eating about that.
ReplyDeleteHm, no sneezing for me but I do think its a new allergy as took some of hubbys meds and much better.
DeleteGorgeous budding! I saw some green trying to poke through the brown grass and it made me smile. My daughter is battlubg a cold allergy mix. I hope you feel better.
ReplyDeleteThanks - much better after some OTCs...new allergy
DeleteWe have similar trees, and they are gorgeous. Also, i have either allergies or a sinus infection & feel terrible. Fingers crossed we are both better quickly!
ReplyDeleteI think I developed some as took some allergy meds and feel much better. Midlife medical issues....uggg
DeleteHere only the dogwoods and azaleas are still blossoming. Everything else is now leafing so spring is nearly over here. The 15th is the last recorded frost date here, so I always wait until then to set any plants, but I am ready this year!
ReplyDeleteWe have a water ban on due to the town changing one of the main pipes that service 2 towns for the next 10 days so I am waiting until after that. In the mean time I can weed and prep the flower beds - a huge job in itself!
DeleteHooray for spring! Hope you are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks - likely new allergies as I took some of hubby's meds and I feel much better
DeleteI'm cutting back on gardening this year so we can enjoy cruising in our boat without worrying about getting home to water. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI am going to be careful just sticking to tomatoes, cucumbers and strawberries - like you I don't want to overdo it.
DeleteI love apple and cherry blossom too but not so much the tingly eyes! You can't win sometimes can you!
ReplyDeleteNope! For me it was dry hacking cough due to post nasal drip - yuck
Deletewe are still 6 weeks away from the blossom flowering.
ReplyDeleteI looked back to last year and it seems about the same time although we had a much colder winter this year. It's pretty but allergy season :)
