Backyard Elderberries are seeking pollinators.

Backyard Elderberries are seeking pollinators.
I just hooked up one more drip line to the little Antelco eZyvalve valve box. I think I’m done for the season reconfiguring our drip system. Time to see how reliable this thing is. I’m not sure what I’ll do with the last two valves. Spares for now. 🌱
Spring mornings in our front yard. Sage and Ceanothus are in full bloom. 💚🌱
Our native California grapes have been very busy over the last week! 🌱
I just installed this Antelco eZyvalve 4 Zone Valve Box. I’m very pleased so far. We’ll see how durable and long lasting it is. I’ll be connecting drip to it. It’s wired to my Rachio Gen 2 irrigation controller.
Ceanothus (California lilac) is magnificently blooming. 🌱
Took a Potensic D58 drone photo today of the backyard (bottom photo) to compare against January 2020 (top photo). Looking real nice. Fun to have unusual views of the yard.
The front yard blue oak has awakened! 🌱
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… 🌱
