 Sloe don't grow here , I wish they did....

Earlier in the week gerry and I went out to one of the local farms in hopes of getting asparagus,  as when the dandilions are in full bloom then the asparagus should ready, but the farmer said we were about a week too early. ;-(((
but on route the shades of pink of the new growth of the local fruit trees looked lovely, it will even improve when these trees mainly peach will be in full blossom,,,,,

The sloes are flowering like mad in the hedge by my plot, but there aren't many of them. My plums are in bud, but no sign of flowers yet.

beautiful!  I love blossom time!  Two years ago we planted a crab apple in full bloom- last year-nothing- thought it was on its way out!  we were wrong- it has loads of buds- my OH dug a trench just below it as we thought it might be sitting in a sump.  Anyway, it's stopped sulking so we're very happy about that!

It's probably gone over to biennial bearing... lots of real apples do that.. .
