Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, March 15

daffys 10.jpg

From Don in Kansas:

A few weeks ago it was -10℉. Yesterday it was 80℉. Perhaps it’s now spring, but I don’t quite trust the weather.

Anybody else have that kind of a weather swing?

Edible Gardening/Putting Things By

From Nan in AZ:

Apricot Blossoms - So encouraging. Apricot varieties must be chosen for winter chill requirements in your area:

Puttering

Peak Lass 1:

Whenever you feel hopeless about the hate and ruin and sadness in the world, remember that the sun still rises every day, still draws long shadows on the fields, the birds still sing their little hearts out in the gold, and the spring flowers still push up through the hard earth to greet the light. Nature continues to perform her quiet daily miracles, and will always welcome us back to watch alongside her when it all gets too much.

Adventure

Considered a trip to get an Austin Rose?

With soft apricot-pink blooms and a fruit-laden fragrance, Evelyn (Aussaucer) invites admiration at every turn.

Named after Crabtree & Evelyn, the Massachusetts-based brand inspired by the romance of the English countryside, Evelyn captures the timeless beauty and charm of rural landscapes. Her fragrance, a unique blend of ripe peaches, apricots, and Old Rose, is best enjoyed near a pathway, seating area, or doorway, where it can gently greet you as you pass by.

Compact yet commanding, she thrives in full sunlight, adapting beautifully to a range of garden settings, whether as part of a border, a rose bed, or a feature plant. Her soft, romantic colouring and elegant form add a touch of calm and nostalgia, bringing a sense of peace and timeless appeal to your garden.

Any thoughts or questions?

I closed the comments on this post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway.
