Lemon Blossoms, But No Fruit!

DSC02180 There were blossoms on this lemon tree.

DSC02446   There is no set fruit on this lemon tree.  I think it is because snails ate mini fruits, unless there were no bees in the front.  I saw snails, and have not recently seen bees.  It could have been another problem, so while I work to reduce the snail population, I will keep my eyes open.

Trees Leafing Out

Buds coming out on the cypress tree in the front. DSC01766  The little nubbins on the  branches are buds, so soon this cypress will be green again.

Soon Pale green will show on this cypress as it leafs out (February 17, 2014) DSC01768    The tree will get a veil of green.  There is some later blooming narcissus under this tree.
