We have come upon the time of year for azaleas. I love it when they pop out cuz it means spring is h

Also we have a new addition to keep an eye on the next few seasons. LOQUAT!

And oranges!

For those of you who have never smelled an orange blossom. WOW! Heaven must have dropped those things. The smell alone sold the tree last spring. I cant wait to smell that incredible sweetness again.

I love em Jaykush. Ever notice that they carry a pronounced "skunky" smell to em?? I mean, if I didnt know better I would think it was pot. I do land surveying (residential) and I couldnt tell you how many times I had to do a double take cuz those skunky Azaleas.

I hope we can keep em around for a bit this year. We usually keep em for about two weeks and then a cold snap will kill the flowers. Once that happens, we know it is officially summer. We only get about 2 weeks of spring. Then it is straight to summer. LOL!

I planted some heirloom watermelons this year. the seeds came from these delicious little melons about twice the size of a softball. Grown by Amish folks in Arkansas. Cave city melons are famous for thier sugar content. I hope I can do them justice.

Pics soon.
