California spring is on the way!

Thanks Randy, good info to try. Interesting that copper sulfate should kill it and you said they got their start in the copper mining town..

Lynda

Actually the seeds washed down stream to other towns to get their start.

Pirate, do you know if that copper sulfate solution would work on pepper trees?

It should work on most any tree that sprouts after it's been cut down. It's deadly to the roots. If you confine it to the stump, it won't hurt any plants surrounding it.

All sorts of things started blooming while we were on vacation. Here's a few of them. The clumping Gazanias are in full bloom now

(also, here's a link to our vacation pix)

This is a beautiful Iris that Boockerc1 gave me last summer.

The African Daisies are spilling out all over the place

My Sweet Peas are evident from across the parking lot. UMMM they smell good.

This was a little four inch pot of Parrot's Beak last summer.

This Salvia Greggii "Hot Lips" already has hummers all over it.

My Fushia is covered in blooms and buds.

JEALOUS!!!! I've got daffs and hyacinths, but that's it for now.

There's always something so cheery about gazanias. Nice pics, DP.

Oh, your garden look great, and in my favorite colors. I guess my 'Margarites' are African daisies, as they look alike. They are also profuse right now, but with the heat of summer I thought they were gonners.

This one is getting kind of long, so here's where we can continue: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1080277/

Spring is finally here in Fresno !!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!

Yep, CG, it's here! Wahoo!

A cool-off a bit, also, with rain. What a weathersome year, eh?

Linda

More like normal to me - I remember weather like this when I was a child.

Eeeww, you must be as old as I am, KC. I, too, remember such weather. I remember being flooded out of our home over 2 weeks beginning a couple of days before Christmas in Walnut Creek downroad from a canal. I remember fog on my way to college classes in the a.m. when I had to drive with my head hanging out the window. I remember . . . . Never thought I'd say that. Linda

Ha! Wait until you 'don't remember' and you'll think you'd never be saying that either.....

Gosh, I haven't been watching the length of this thread! Let's continue over here:
