My cherries and the nectarine tree are just starting to bloom, with the cherries (at left) opening a little quicker. The nectarine (below) has quite attractive pink blossoms, and you can see they’re just getting ready to open.

The apple trees aren’t quite as close to blooming, and the crabapples have a little ways to go as well.

Many of our shrubs are starting to leaf out. This photo shows a group of Alpine Currant shrubs that have leafed out pretty well. I gotta get those weeds and wild grass removed from the gravel area in front of them! It’s a tough year for garden work, because I promised my wife I would finish our basement this spring.
