It’s nice to wake up to the sun shining through the bedroom window, and it’s good to know that it is warm outside.
The growing season is a month later than in the UK so the flowers haven’t burst into bloom yet. I excited that the elderberry plant is really started to go wild, there are two florets ready to blossom.
The raspberry plants don’t appear to be alive, so I will have to dig them up.
I have ordered two gooseberry bushes from a store on-line. Most of the garden centres around do not stock these type of fruits, so it’s down to specialist growers to supply them.
I’m really surprised how difficult it is to buy plants I am used to getting in the UK. I have tried to look for espalier apple trees to grow along the fence, but I can’t find any. It looks like I will have to train them myself.
The garage was alive with activity, we started work on the two dressers we picked up yesterday. Kelli tackled the sanding of the long black unit. Soon, both her and the floor was covered with thick black dust.
