Garden at the End of April



The Wisteria is blooming and the fragrance permeates the back yard. The Azaleas are beautiful this year but since they have been neglected we have had to prune most of them back and will hope for more beauty and health from them next year. The woman who owned this house was an azalea nut!!! We have so many azaleas that I stopped counting at 100.


As this is our first Vegetable garden we are documenting it by taking pictures and keeping this written record. We have had a nice rainy spring and the plants have really taken off. We just have to protect them from all the little and big critters.
The Fuji apple blossoms are just about done and falling off, I hope the bees have completed their pollinating!!! The arugula is so tender and tasty we have some everyday. Tonight we will have it with cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella-drizzled with Italian olive oil.
