Today with camera in hand I took a walk to see what has sprung...
These crazy pink and yellow moths are back looking like something out of a cartoon.
The wisteria is at the end of its peak, this bee didn't seem to mind. Once the bloom stops, it is slated for a BIG haircut....it is just a little tooooo happy and will soon overtake the back of the house.
My roses just couldn't be happier...I wish the picture did them justice.
We have had a few tomatoes on a hanging yellow cherry tomato in a hanging basket...this one in the ground is doing its thing too.
The carrots have sprouted...
The radishes are popping their red shoulders above the soil line...
Romaine should be good for a salad within the week.
The figs are set on a flourishing fig tree....
Wild honeysuckle is heavily scenting the air by the woods... despite my lack of attention, all is well.

First, what IS that moth? I've never seen anything like it! Looks like fuzzy candy.
Second, tomatoes already? Now the excitement I was feeling over seeing my spinach and cilantro finally emerging is deflated.
It's a Rosy Maple Moth http://bugguide.net/node/view/466/bgimage We have several around the front porch and garage, for the second year.
I have no idea why that tomato is doing it's thing so fast...it just seems to love that spot! None of my spinach came up so there you go, i have garden envy of you!
