Victoria Day 2013

A full day and some photos of the garden.  Only one Russian Mammoth sunflower sprouted from my first planting.  I'm trying again with a second planting, but it is kind of late this year.

The Saskatoon berries are in bloom.

The Ohio Buckeye is starting to leaf as well.

In previous years, the Norland apple would already be blossoming.  This apple tree split at the main trunk during a storm in 2010 when it was loaded with a crop of apples.  It is healing well as we taped it together and it looks like it self-grafted itself nicely.  The little spruce seedling from last year did not survive though.

We also had a nice trip to the Barry Barn.

Peking Duck was on the menu for lunch!
