Wheeeeee, taxes done!

 Weeping Crabapple showing off this year. It is the most glorious display we've had in years.
Spring has sprung in the south garden. The tulips mimic the colors of the apple blossoms.
Now to start gardening seriously once again. I'm hoping the cold nights are past and that things will once again begin to grow. We managed to escape the deep freeze the other night and I opted to not cover the apple tree with sheets of row covers! Instead I went outside after it started to get really cold and sprayed the tree with water so that the blossoms were all dampish. Didn't lose a one! We didn't have a single edible apple last year but if we are lucky this should be a bumper crop.
