parley view parsnip. . . a little spring

Since Tucson didn't have a winter this year,  spring has come super early.
In fact it has been spring for over a month. The wild flowers are blooming.
In fact I am still harvesting tomatoes from last years plants.
I am gong to buy two new tomato plants today 
and maybe my second Meyers Lemon tree.
.

 Fruit and blooms on the Meyers Lemon tree.
This tree blooms and has fruit all year.
I just finished the last of these sweet lemons I picked last week.
I can't wait till these ripen.
.

 Not sure you can see all the blooms and still some fruit peeking out
of the Tangelo tree.
.
 Sweet Orange tree in back of the Tangelo,
still has plenty of fruit.
.

 Tangelo up high that we still need to pick.
.

 The one I picked and ate this morning.
The fruit of a tangelo is bright eye searing orange !
A lovely way to start the day.
.

 I planted some tiny Prickley Pear pads in some very tiny pots I had.
Forgetting they held some tiny Grape Hyacinths bulbs from last spring. They grew around the cactus but stopped at this height. I am hoping to see some blooms soon.
.

 I usually cut the grass every week but it is growing so fast that I am going to cut it 
twice a week ! It is a jungle out there.
thehamish has to really lift his short little legs up trying to walk through it.
But he usually just charges through full speed anways, he is so funny.

And... here is your pretty to start the week

Of Course !

    1. Yes I am rather late I should have my tomatoes in already !
      So I can have the first crop of tomatoes before the heat of summer cooks them on the vine.
      Second crop after the we drop from triple digits.

  2. Citrus fruits are so delightful, I think it is the smell of the leaves as well as the fruits, always nice. Have a good week, Parsnip!

  3. Buzzy McDuff and the Pip said to tell you that they just can't wait until they have to lift their short little Cairn legs up and over tall grass. But for now, they must endure the front yard that is not unlike a glacier. *sigh* Such a beautiful Tangelo photo...it almost looks like I could pluck it off the screen and give it a good squeeze!. xoxox to all.

  7. Beautiful photos--and now that I've left my citrus trees behind they make me a bit sad but hopefully we'll grow something similar soon.

  9. How I would love to have a lemon tree. I see you have our grape hyacinths safely contained. Very wise.
    The boys are looking quite saint like:)

  10. I found you at Norma's place. I love dogs and I started my day with an orange. Then had another with lunch. Great way to start the day.
