the tree is doing fantastically well -- last year it had 3 blossoms, this year it's covered. lee valley now has deep watering stakes, so that'll be easier to handle now than it was previously. since the bed around it is was largely annuals except for the lupine and mexican feather grass, i can start pondering what i want to plant next. i still like the idea of the goth theme.
man, the garden is so far ahead of time right now; it's kinda neat (though i fear a freak storm, so i am keeping the tenders inside as yet). i have fresh herbs! it's interesting to note which plants don't seem to care at all; those are the ones that don't go by temperature, but are photoperiodic, and need a certain daytime length -- daffodils, and carpathian bellflower for example.
