I can’t take any more bad news, no matter which direction I turn it’s doom & gloom & it’s starting to make me nuts.
Please post some good news that has nothing to do with that out of control beer situation. I don’t care what it’s about, a new tattoo, you peed in the toilet without hitting the wall or whatever, just anything positive.
I’ll start. We’ve had the warmest winter I can remember. No snow (we’ve had some flakes & dustings but nothing that required a shovel much less a snow blower or plow). As a result the flowers have already sprouted and trees are blooming, that’s pretty impressive for this area particularly given that it began while still winter.
Below is one of my favorite plants, not sure what it really is, maybe some kind of honeysuckle, but I call them West Chester Weeds because they’re so prolific here, they grow like weeds & propagate and/or transplant incredibly easily (I can yank one a foot tall from one spot, transplant it somewhere else & water it once & it’s off to the races), they more than double in size each year until maturity, & they are the first to bloom in spring & the last to drop their leaves in fall. Most importantly they provide the best screening in that all important ‘neighbor’ privacy height (they block out from around 2 feet off the ground to about 20 feet high). Here’s a shot of one I planted in this spot about 2 years ago, it’s gone nuts. This photo is from last year but it already has leaves this year, just haven’t gotten a new shot of it yet:
