Early Peach Blossoms

Early Peach Blossoms 1

I planted a peach tree in our backyard. It’s fitting for Atlanta, but the tree thinks that Winter is ending…in the first week of February.

It’s great to see that the baby tree is ready to grow, but also not great that the weird weather is throwing it off.

January 2020 was the warmest January on record. And it followed a warm December and the 2nd warmest year on record.

But whenever they bloom, peach blossoms are insanely beautiful. I was looking forward to the peaches, but totally forgot about having such nice color in the Spring…err, Winter.

  • American Chestnut Tree Growing at Atlanta History Center

    Efforts to bring back the American Chestnut have been slow but steady. And I was surprised to find a planting at none other than the Atlanta History Center! It’s not as old or as established as the ones at Allatoona Dam, but they seem healthy and strong. They are a fun little Easter Egg tucked inconspicuously in the very back of the Center’s property near The Wood Cabin.

    On my trip to Redwood National Park, I learned that the story isn’t really about the Redwood trees – it’s about the entire ecosystem, which is both under threat and at the center of conservation efforts today.

    I love seeing direct evidence of wildlife in the forest. This area had lots of evidence of beavers just working hard on their dams.

    I love how zinnia flowers are ridiculously easy to plant and enjoy throughout the summer. We got this packet from Southern Seed Exchange.
