Love bugs and mosquito killers. Azaleas are beautiful this year

Just needs netting.

Put down 1/3 of a 19.4 kg bag of weed and feed during a gentle rain this afternoon. Also, azaleas are in bloom, amongst other things.

A bit out of the ordinary, spring has arrived early. Last night during my beekeeping class, I learned that when redbud trees bloom bees will tend to swarm in this area. I've been seeing these in bloom here for the last few days. Seeing as I have never seen a swarm, I decided to order my bees last night. I've also noticed a lot of bluebirds and other songbirds lately. I haven't done much in the way of my garden or my lawn this year, and good thing too. Last week we did have a small frost. This year winter almost didn't arrive. I even have lettuce left over from when I planted late last fall. The chives seem to have lasted the winter well also a couple spinach plants. Today I planted rosemary and weeded.
