The Nanking Cherry is producing some fruit this year.
The birds are quickly eating this fruit this year, because the hard Spring freeze knocked out other fruiting plants.
Fast Growing Willow Cuttings
I have cut a lot of Bigfoot Willow Hybrid stakes and the cuttings are ready to be planted.
By this fall, they can be over 10 feet tall.
Looper
This caterpillar is little, but looks special:
It is trying to find a way to escape from me.
Honeyberry Fruit
Honeyberry bushes are the earliest fruit in the spring.
The fruit is blue and quickly eaten by birds.
Golden Hops
Golden Hops is a very fast growing vine.
It grows back from the roots every spring and suckers some.
Freeze? No Please
The early, warm spring was going to cause a problem sooner or later. It finally caught up to us and a lot of plants have foliage burned off by the freeze.
This photo shows the sensitive Kiwi vines.
Dandelion Tree Trunk
I noticed a dandelion growing in the crevice of a tree trunk.
Dandelions are an edible wild food.
Flowering Fruit Trees
This spring the fruit trees are flowering early.
Double Red Delicious Apple full of flowers.
Northstar Sour Cherry with many flower blossoms.
3 pears in our orchard are flowering: Kieffer, Pineapple, and Starking Delicious Pears.
The Sun ‘n Snow Poplar is always looking like its flowering. Golden Leaves are very easy to notice.
March Flowers
Flowering has already started in March this year.
Crimson Gold Nectarine Flowering.
Bigfoot Willow Hybrid Windbreak with yellow flowers.
Nanking Cherry full of blossoms.
Spring Parsnips
Spring is the time to dig up parsnips that were planted the previous year.
The harvest was large this spring.
