We have a lot of honey locust trees and they are in full bloom right now. Very fragrant. They are dropping their petals all over everything, blowing all over our deck and yard. In the past week the big sugar maple in the back has blown all of its helicopter seeds off, with the thunderstorms we've had.
The cherry trees, apple trees, and plum tree all have visible, immature fruit.
This is the time of year when it rains a ton, and you have to mow your lawn like crazy, but come July and August things will heat up and dry out and mowing will be simply for the weeds poking through and not the grass.
All the grass seed I spread a month ago is looking great.
Garden update:
The squash and pumpkins all sprouted, 8 days after I planted the seeds.
Rhubarb has a couple of times now sent up seed stalks that I have pinched off.
I planted a bunch of onion sets here, there, everywhere that are now coming up.
Cutworms seem to be impacting the corn again, I hope they don't decimate the entire crop like they did last year.
Summer is coming, time to take advantage.
