It's time to walk around the garden

Spring like weather has me working to get the garden going for this year

 There is just no arguing with the apricot tree about the season

 buds like this make me get out in the garden and prepare the soil

 I bought a few of the Sun Gold tomatoes that I like so much.

 The persimmon is sprouting out too

 after a couple of good years we got no fruit off the tree last year

 The Fall persimmon foliage is still worth it though

 The collard greens are starting to go to flower

 the curly mustard greens are still looking good (I love them in chicken noodle soup)

This rather blurry photo is swiss chard maybe my favorite of the greens.

We worked two bags of horse manure into the garden over the weekend.

I generally prefer chicken manure but this being an election year, well lets just say you have to work with what you have the most of.
