Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[Western]

Pin oaks starting to leaf out today. HS

Our Redbuds are just days away as well. then we have some other "understory" tree that has the white lavender smelling flowers, not wild plums though. This last rain sure started things in a new direction:thumbsup: Oaks even showing some good buds.

I was given a Cypress tree to put on the island (pond). It is about 4 feet tall and in a pot. It started budding out last week.
hugs, Brandi

Guess Spring Break is here!

Spring break was last week here, this week in Oklahoma and next week in Arkansas. Only know that because of nieces and nephews:laughing:

Not to bad working in Dallas tonight, didnt feel cool until I rolled into the house, amazing how big a difference 60 miles makes.

The end of winter, really nice yesterday, but I still had to get out this morning and get the frost of the Queen's windshield, 35*.

Like FG I'm ready for Spring. It has been a long winter and pretty rough all across the country.

Got the ground ready for the garden, although it's still a little wet. After last years 2nd planting I'm trying to be patient. Can't wait to bring in those first tomatoes and go on the semi-vegetarian diet. I'm a Texan, though, and still have to have my BBQ, Tex-Mex, and CFS.

Also we're re-planting Grass around the house and that ground is ready. I'm going to try to get that done in about 10-15 days if the weather will co-operate.

Anyone else had to constantly run off a tame herd of cows while building a fence cuz they keep getting in the way, messing up string line etc.?

Charlie, y'all got that cold? What did you do last night, lite beer??:confused3:

Warming up quick, 70* and a high foretasted for 75* in DFW, so it will probably hit 80* here.

I am going to try carrots one more time, didn't do squat last year? Planted 2 Celebrity and 10 Roma's, do you folks that can, think 10 Roma's are enough for sauce canning?? Potatoes aren't doing much, Broccoli looks like it will be a loss after that freeze we had, but onions are doing good:thumbsup:
