The Apple is doing good! Today I made a bamboo kick stand for it. I think tomorrow I'll get a picture of the flower bud and post it.
Sounds like your garden is doing fine even with the nasty weather.

I know we have spring rains here but jeeeze! Enough allready!!!! I have seeded the lawn and put steer manure out twice after the rain washed it away the first time.
I guess it could be even worse like it's been in Hawaii. I heard they had rain for 60 days straight. Today was their first real sunshine they have had in a while!
What happened to the no rain forecast we had here? Maybe the global warming is making it more difficult to predict the weather?
