Every Blooming Thing-- Early May

Update on the Yard.

1. TREES: The crap apple and Bradford pear trees blooming are about to. In the front yard, the white crab apple is in full regalia and the red one about to go into it. The two other red ones in the backyard are also about to bloom. One pear tree is blooming white all over, but the other two have just a little white on them. They haven't bloomed much the last several years and I don't know why. The starburst honey locusts are about to burst into their golden glory.


2. FLOWERS: Most of the daffodils and hyacinths are gone. Tulips are all over the place and in bloom as well as several perennials that I don't know the name. They are yellow. Many other perennials are growing quickly.


3. TRANSPLANTING: Yesterday and later today, I'll be out digging up, cutting, and replanting perennials. Yesterday it was mostly low daisies, creeping phlox and mums. Today, I'll be working on daylillies. Much of this is going on along the west side of the house where the new retaining walls are located. I've decided to buy another 20-30 Windsor stones for some more walls as well.
