Gotta love when things start waking up...

[Cadillactaste]

I've got flowers on my crabapple...more things are waking in the greenhouse. My stubborn wisteria again...is giving me a lovely show of green foliage only. I know it can bloom...it did so when it first arrived in my care. But...it's green. So I've another year to see what it feels like offering me. I did threaten it...with removing the upper branch and making a smaller tree if all it's going to offer me is foliage. lol Not sure it heard...we shall see next spring. It may become a much more compact tree. If it's only going to off me leaves. But...the Goji berry is waking Scott Lee advised to toss some wire on it soon ...seen new growth on the Pyracantha...the juniper is starting to push as well. Bald Cypress is looking green...it's just a good feeling walking into seeing them all waking up. Another winter gone...spring is here. But, in Ohio it can randomly play hide and seek. My flowers are blooming under the Thuja planting...very pretty indeed. Spent time in the greenhouse and it puts a spring in ones step! Can't wait to see that Neagari Azalea bloom...Anticipating that day!

Okay...it's a lovely spring day...set things out on the bench. Love when the bench is full...


What greets one as they enter my deck... (Disregard the weeping ryusen maple. It's just something we no longer can keep in the yard with the arctic winters we had in the past. My husband's favorite tree. So I potted it up what was still alive and I'm training it to be taller.)


The crabapple...


Thuja planting...the top needs thinned out a lot more.


But look closely...there are flowers in there too.


Satuski azalea , bald cypress and a Neagari/exposed root satsuki azalea below...the bald cypress goes out back. But for the bonsai two step...if need be. Staying on the bench closest to the greenhouse.




Root winged elm


Pyracantha...

Did you ever trunk chop your pyracantha?

I have a "stick in a pot" one, which I air layered. Has less potential than paper wings on a boeing747, but only thing I can do with it, is chop it down low and just trying to get some info on how it'll react.

It came to me most likely just that...here is a link...but, some great advice given on how to develop one.

Thanks for the link. I want a bench like yours . Certainly need a bench of some kind. Or there's a lot of greenhouse setups now. Or polytunnels.

Your dog in one of the pics looks freaked out by what you are doing.. He/she is thinking "Why is she taking a picture of my butt?"

Welcome...my bench is far from what most do. But thank you...love lead glass windows. My husband built it...it's like total 7' long I believe. There's a thread here somewhere on it as well. But...I agree you need benches to appreciate those trees better. With spring but winter temps at times still...greenhouses can be a good thing.

The Aussie...most likely was giving the Bulldogs a look down...they too were out on the deck. They most likely were getting that look of settle down...don't make me come over there. Lol

It is...I could smell it coming on...when I opened the greenhouse door. Crazy thinking as we are preparing for spring. Waterfall is up and running again. All the outdoor furniture is out of storage...fire pit is out. And others...are preparing for winter. But...it's the way of the world eh?
