I got finished with some pruning and weeding yesterday and walked around looking and fairly content. One of the great truths is that a garden is never finished, but there are satisfying levels along the way.
Future Meyer lemons.
Lilies that flower repeatedly and then disappear for a while.
My Japanese maple is always the last plant to leaf out and scares me every year, when it shows no sign of repeating.
First tomato flowers!
The kumquat looked dead and now is covered with new growth.
Spanish moss
Datura flowers
More lilies
The individual flowers are so delicate and complex.
Fallen collards.
A datil pepper that I was about to pull out is back for a third year, one of the joys of a no-frost winter.
My poor overworked secateurs.

Another great truth is that a garden is good for the human soul and spirit.
As is looking at these photos.
:-)
P.S. Got new neighbors who don't seem to like plants and have massacred very bush and tree so far.
Always sad to see people destroy gardens. Down here people move from the north and cut down every tree on their land and put in a lawn. Then the heat of summer comes and.......no shade.
Thank you
