Blood peach, apricot and nectarine trees are starting to blossom.
This year I'm adding two new stone fruit trees: a flat peach and a flat nectarine.
I have this small, potted columnar apricot tree that's not quite columnar anymore and I'm thinking of trying my hand at grafting it with every type of stone fruit I have. Will have to wait until next spring for that, but I'm looking forward to it.

It's just very important to me that you know prairie-style gardens exist.

Where you can, please leave the leaves.
They are filled with life and the nutrients of the next years!
In these leaves there are future pollinators and lightning bugs which need two years in leaf litter to mature to the adult form we love to see.
Do a bit less work, and let nature guide your yard set up.
Where leaves naturally collect, spread more there, if it is an area you may want to garden native plants later.
That leaf litter alone can start you on your way to having a unique pocket prairie, where you let more of your lawn fade into native shortgrass prairie in sunny areas, and woodland emergent in shady areas.
Consider leaving the leaves, and maybe, if you can, leave them off the street.

So, this is cool:
We need to convince more municipalities to plant more trees. I would suggest looking into trees that are more heat and drought tolerant (oaks, not western red cedar, for an example) & also those that grow more quickly. Planting on the west and south (or north, if you're in the Southern hemisphere) of a building matters the most for heat reduction.
If you want to get into it, I'd suggest finding your Köppen climate classification, and then finding either native trees that can thrive in a hotter-but-otherwise-similar climate than yours, or trees from such a climate. For example, I'm in a warm-summer Mediterranean climate so I'm looking at plants from Hot-summer Mediterranean climates that are hardy enough to still survive our winters (oaks, I'm looking at oaks. Fortunately, one species extends from here to down there, so that's easy).
I wouldn't usually advocate for non-native plants, but I'm seeing the climate change quickly enough that I think maybe humans should help with the pole-wards migration of plants.

Ok, new garden idea!
I remain desperate to remove the ugly low non-native pine hedge at the alley side of the yard. I never see any wildlife around it and it does nothing to obscure the view of garages and trash bins.
Eventually the apple and plum trees will obscure the upper part of the view, so I wanted something to obscure the lower part of the view.
My latest concept: the thorn beds!
The ground along that side is thick with big woody roots, so cutting them down and plopping a raised bed on top makes sense. the roots will break down eventually and make nice rich soil, but it's hella hard to plant into.
And, Ty misses our old garden's raspberry bed. I keep raspberries in beds because, as anyone whose grown them knows, they like to escape and run rampant.
But from an aesthetic viewpoint they're just sort of....a big green blob of a plant.
But how cute would it be to do a mixed bed of raspberries and raspberry colored roses? These plants like similar conditions and the roses are good at not being strangled by the berries.

So yeah. Kind of obsessed with this idea.
