Our “Bacon” Avocado flower buds are developing nicely. Also, the fig is waking up. 🌱🌳

First apricot bloom. Hopefully, as in past years, far more will follow. Figure this flower puts pollinators on notice. 🌳🌱


This should be my last nectarine flower photo. This year. 🌳🌱

The nectarine is up and at ‘em with many glorious blooms. 🌱🌳



Got a warm spell in California so now I expect the nectarine to bloom any day now. The local almond trees already have.🌳🌱


The Fantasia nectarine (planted Jan 2020) is still in swollen bud stage. Has been for days. It’s sooo close to blooming. Here’s hoping it’ll produce fruit for the first time this year!

Front yard update: the manzanitas are in full bloom! The poppies are trying to take over. Waiting on the Ceanothus (California lilac) to bloom… they’re the most showy.


We’re craving Manzanita flower blooms in the front yard. Almost there… 🌱


Our first front yard daffodil flower of 2021. Bloomed about two weeks later than last year (Jan 24, 2020). A small pollinator is already taking advantage! 💚 🌱
