Good Friday good morning to you! Everything here is a month early (that is according to the “official” weather peoooooooople.) I suppose I should start thinking about the garden. It seems odd to have to pull weeds before the taxes are due...but just to be sure that we are still in WI, a freeze is forecast for tonight.

PS — there is another thread started. But, yours is prettier.

For those of you traveling for the weekend, I wish you a safe trip! And I wish each and every one of you a blessed Easter. Enjoy!

The same wish to you all my FReeper Gardening freiends.

My daughter and I travelled to southwest Florida yesterday to spend Easter with my Dad and Aunt.. It is absolutely beautiful here, but like so many other places they are dry, dry, dry!

Happy Easter all.

Happy Easter to all.

And my plants are loving the weather this year.

Strawberries are loaded. Blackberries are in full bloom with pretty good crop already set.

Grape vines is doing very well.

I discovered the wonder of solitary bees this week. Was worrying about the honey bee population. (seems small this year) But I noticed for the first time Blue Orchard Mason Bees and an unidentified small bee. Boy are they doing the job.

Even made a nesting block to see if I can encourage them to stay around.

Fruit trees are doing great. The older ones are loaded. (Pears, Plums, Persimmons) The young ones are blooming, but don’t expect much yet from them.

Only have 1 blueberry bush that clearly survived the 100 year drought last year. At least one more shows signs of life.

I hope that everyone had a happy Easter and gave thanks for the risen Lord.

Wifey had Fri. off so we had a day of shopping at garden centers for just the right planters for her container garden/bird-butterfly sanctuary that is just outside from our dining room windows. Her flower beds are looking good; caladiums, lillies, and ferns all doing great in the shade, and the sunny beds are thriving too.

Garden is growing nicely, squash has blooms, the tomatos have gotten taller than the peppers now, about ready to stake before long. I am looking forward to fried green tomatos!
