Spring has definitely arrived

Spring is definitely here.  Grandma's Gerber has popped up her head from her pot.

 

The aloes are in bloom and it's just a matter of time before the hummingbirds visit.

 

The knockout roses are suddenly going gangbusters and I'm regretting not pruning them back on Valentine's day like I should have.  The bushes are all leggy.  Perhaps after this first blush, I'll hack them back - but I can't bear to do it when they're covered with beautiful blossoms.



This is what my little garden looks like right now.  It's a raised bed in front of my walk to the front door.  Lemon tree is out there in the upper left corner.  Now I've got two blueberry bushes to add to this as well!
