Chopped off the tops of the columnar apples this winter and lo, we are loaded with blossoms. 

 
Was a major day. Got all of the transplants planted: lettuce, marigolds,  fennel, basil, cucumbers, tomatoes – early girl, San marzanos, sweet 100s and a tiny millions for the pots by the balcony.  Already had the eggplant and some tomatoes in on the top deck.

Tried to divide the yucca, but only got off a couple of pieces so far. I will need to pot them up to develop true roots.  Got the summer bulbs planted, or some of them. They had already started to sprout in the bag, so I am not opposition they will grow or flower. I can give it a few weeks before yanking them out.  Did decide to soak the dahlia and put them in.   Have been using Btk on the apple trees and it seems to be reducing the leaf curl  caterpillars.  A lot still to do!
