Spring is coming, we just have to look

Cat watching spring coming

Little green, red and bulging shoots are everywhere.

Look closely and you’ll see them in the tips of the fruit trees, Midyem Berry bushes, paw paw and other plants in our road gardens.

Yes, it’s hard to believe spring is coming but the flowers and fruits are getting ready.  Some of our first lemons and limes are ripening, too.  All the first year’s fruit was pruned away to direct growth into the tree branches.

But in this the second year for many of the fruit trees we can see useful fruit forming.

All that compost, mulch and below ground watering from our roofs and sidewalks is working.

I love the patient cat in the photo above, watching spring coming on the fruit tree.  If you look you’ll see the cat  on the left and the red of the growing fruit and flowers and leaves that the cat’s got its eyes on.
