Simply Wonderful

Bandages are off, and I’m venturing out into the garden, hoping to be able to spend a few minutes a day getting the garden back in order while my wrist gets flexible and stronger. I’m happy that to see that my garden is recovering from the rough winter — even my precious Anacuas are starting to bud again, despite looking brown and pitiful just days ago.

I’m hoping for lots more pomegranates this year — we planted it bare root last winter and were fortunate enough to have three delicous fruit from the very young tree. This year, the tree is bigger and better established, so I do hope to see lots of gorgeous flowers this year, which might mean lots more fruit!
