palm

the garden is really hitting its stride this spring. i lost three trees (meiwa kumquat, meyer lemon tree, and an olive) with the deep freezes this winter, yet didn't lose one bougainvillea or the palm. the nightblooming jasmine even came back. crazy.

i have so much to do this weekend, but hope to get a peach and plum tree planted. also, take some more photos of the kitchen gardens. we already have baby tomatoes and need to mulch the potager again.

Peggy Martin is beautiful but scary Dawn! Gotta keep an eye on mine with pruners in hand.

Sorry about your lost trees -- I have been wanting to grow two of those. PM is gorgeous and perfect on your fence.
