Spring Has Arrived

Looking out the kitchen window it was apparent spring has arrived.  The daffodils Jan planted under the three fruit trees beside the pool have flowered.

Whilst the orange tree has signs of new growth it’s development hasn’t been nearly as good as the lime and lemon.

The small garden Jan created after I remove the old Peppergum tree is looking healthy.

Jan is the one with the green fingers.  The only plants that thrive under my ministrations are the weeds!

The one tree we now have that doesn’t produce something edible is the Frangipani.  And we couldn’t find a relative who would take it!   I suspect by the time these trees are big enough to provide a good quantity of produce we will be compost….. probably around the base! Smile
