The container David Austin roses are growing very nicely.
They get most of the morning sun in this location and quite a bit of afternoon sun. The ones that I repotted, I had given some organic vegetable fertilizer in the mix. That may be gone now. Today I gave some diluted Tomato fertilizer, which is pretty balanced.
They look quite healthy. If I remember correctly, they were blooming by mid May last year. With such warm weather, and most are established, so maybe little earlier this year?
Lots going on in the kitchen garden.
This raised bed has bib lettuce, snow leas, daikon and turnips (almost too small to see) and radishes (ditto). So far the main challenge, birds eating the plants, hasn't happened this go-around. Maybe due to pre-starting them? And the lettuce and snow peas are store bought plants.
We got the first crop of Chinese Chives for jiaozi dumplings.
I planted broccoli plants (not shown).
Today I gave the garlic plants some nitrogen fertilizer.
Also the onion plants. Growing really nice.
Alpine strawberry plants have started to bloom. I still have one container to separate / thin.
The Gravenstein apple is blooming. Also Tasty Red columnar apple has started blooming. I haven't seen any bees yet.
