For what ever reason this has been an outstanding spring. All of the blossoming trees in this area have been spectacular. The red oaks and maples have also leafed out more densely than usual. I suspect we will have a bumper crop of acorns this year. Last year there were very few. The maple whirly-gigs have been piling up like mad. I'll probably be pulling young trees up all over the place as the year goes on. Shrubs have done well except for some pretty wimpy forsythia that I may dig this fall and replace with something else.

Now if the returning perennials will do as well it should be a good gardening year.

Photo is of my purple plum when it was in bloom.
