My Northstar Cherry Tree is flowering. There is an Ash Tree that is shading it, but we had to have it cut back as it was on the roof and I was hearing the pitter patter of little feet this winter, in the attic. Hopefully this will solve the problem of guests in the attic! Ash Trees in Massachusetts are now dying of some disease and I was told this one doesn't have more than a few years left. Now maybe I will get some cherries as this tree will have more sun. These cherries are very tart, but great for jams and jellies. Usually I let the birds have them because theres not enough to bother with.
I've finally moved my portable greenhouse out to the deck. It was 36 degrees when I got up this morning, with a frost on the front lawn. This winter still doesn't want to let go! I planted beets about a week ago and they're just starting to come up. I added 4 heads of a red lettuce this week. Morning temps look like they will be up this week, so I think I'll start planting my annuals next week-end.
