In our front yard, purple petals are beginning to show beyond the green sheaths of the iris, ants are busy preparing to open the peony buds and the apple trees are shedding their petals and beginning to fruit. This is the first May in the last two years that we did not have a late frost, which bodes well for an apple harvest this year.
Nearby, the honeysuckle has been blooming for about a week. In Buffalo, the chestnut trees are blooming and the cherries have lost most of their petals.
We planted three winter squash last night.
A bloomin' good report!
