It’s officially spring! The first day of spring was yesterday, and the garden just loved that recent downpour! The Indian hawthorns are awash with pink blooms, the westringia is full of delicate white and lavender blossoms and the roses have buds breaking all over!
The hydrangeas are slowing unraveling their deep green leaves and the lavender has awakened with their fragrant flowers. Citrus blossoms are starting to open too…is there a better scent in the world? Jasmine comes close; we will wait patiently for that!
Time to fertilize or add a layer of compost, just be careful with California natives as they do not like too many nutrients. Wait for the soil to warm up before you lay down some mulch, late April or early May here in SoCal. Enjoy the sun and cooler temperatures while it lasts!
