Lots going on in the yard.The little peach "trees" are in full bloom
The cherries are in almost-full bloom.
The daffodils continue to bloom.
A frost was predicted last night, but the low was 39. I brought in everything tender and left them all inside today.
Article in the Oregonian about honey bee problems, disappearing bees. It describes how dependent our fruit orchards are, on honey bees. I hope that the orchard mason bees can make an impact. Even more, I hope that the honey bees resurge, but it doesnt look like it will happen this year. The orchard mason bees in the "growing greener yard" were active all afternoon on sunday, using their older bee-house as well as the new one that I "built".
The ginkgo tree has green buds. also tru for the cuttings that I stuck into the ground in the tomato patch. I don't know if they have taken root, or are expending their "last effort" on some buds.
