Gardening, anyone?

DDfair, indeed it is. I pruned it back this year and it's doing great and smells heavenly.

Oh dear, scotch broom is an invasive noxious weed in my state too. It smells horrid and causes terrible allergy problems for folks who suffer from allergies. I've been known to stop my car alongside the road to yank it out or cut it down to the ground. Also known as "guerilla gardening ". I have seen a hybrid variety in nurseries that is not invasive. I'm guessing you must have the hybrid type Jazzy girl.

We had a snowy Mother's Day weekend.

May is starting to warm up.

So far no sign of a hummer!

The worst part of Scotch Broom in WA is that they purposefully planted it on the highway margins to keep the soil from sliding. During bloom season you really need to up the allergy meds to drive on I-5.

That same rose in full bloom - different for sure.

I have squash finally - I tried to reseed my beans and they aren't sprouting yet. Thinking I got a bad batch of seeds.

I have a quail family that lives in the corner. Around 8 chics. Here is dad watching from above

I'm really impressed that it grew outside. I've had bad luck trying to grow florist plants.
