Flower Status Report - Update 5-11-2006

To roses and azaleas! 

With warmer weather, the roses, azaleas, wisteria, poppies, and many other flowers have come

out.  The barrels are showing great daffodils and iris.

The weekend of Frog Jump is May 18 to 21 in Angels Camp.  It's a great

county faire.  Visit Frog Jump and come up to see Ironstone!

 

 

Tawny and Larry check some of the beds of flowers.  They're planning for the next wave of color!

 

 

After the rains and, now, the heat, the grass grows fast.  Time to give it a cut.

 

 

The chardonnay is showing growth with the buds readily visible.  No bloom yet, but our neighbors 

to the east have full bloom.

 

 

Sunny days mean time to work among the vines.  Shoot pulling limits the amount

of growth on each vine so flavors are concentrated in the grapes.

Elke and Beverly check some new earrings in the Jewelry Shoppe.

Check out the wonderful offerings for Mothers' Day!
