I was browsing one of my favorite nurseries yesterday & came across cosmos "Apricot lemonade". I'm going back today to pick up a tree, and I think I'll grab the cosmos as well ๐Ÿ˜Š

I planted these four espalier apples last September. Sadly, the bunnies are able to reach and eat all the leaves off the lowest cordons. And some other animal has gotten all the apples off the upper cordons. We are going to install 4-foot wire fencing around them. ๐ŸŒฑ

Yes - I've been planning to "pull the trigger" on Schreiners for at least 20 years. Finally felt the time was right this spring ๐Ÿ˜Š
No worries - I always post garden content!
