The funniest thing we planted new this year was a weeping mulberry tree. What happens when your neighbor adds on to their house and puts in a window that looks into your "secluded" backyard? Well, we planted a tree. However, from the looks of it, we don't have our privacy back quite yet.
Maybe in a year...it's supposed to get leaves pretty soon. This tree is like a miniature weeping willow..it will only get 6 feet high but if unkept, will look like a creature. Hmm..I think with my talented and tidy husband it will never look like a monster but that is something we have to be careful with.Here are a few other fun things in our yard that are blooming right now:
Fresh Lilacs...Mmm, I love the smell!
Crab Apple TreeThank you to the former residents of our house that planted this gorgeous tree in our front yard!
Dwarf Flowering Almond
Purpleleaf Sand Cherry

Erika- you guys have some gorgeous plants! I have been also getting the green thumb lately, ....I even planted some pumpkin seeds, just to see what would happen, and they are growing like crazy! Yay for spring!!
Oh, my goodness, those blossom photos were amazing. They would look awesome framed. I loved the mulberry tree -- the flowers underneath were so pretty. You two are motivating me to get going outside, too. I haven't done anything but rake. My lilacs are ready to bloom yet. Good job on the gardening! Marcia
They are all so beautiful!!!
