My Roses started blooming early this year too. In fact, my bushes were full before the last frost hit. (Sorry, I was out of commission, so no pics.)

As the weather warmed up they continued to flower, but something strange started to happen. (Now I'm sounding like all those click bait headlines. Lol) As the weather continued to warm, the flowers stayed fine and abundant, but the bushes lost most of their leaves.

At first I thought something was wrong with my irrigation, (a not infrequent occurrence) but they were getting plenty of water. Then . . . dun dun dun . . . I found that others were having the same issue.

Turns out that, best guess is they are shedding their leaves to better tolerate the dry, relentless heat.

Smart of them, no?

Anybody else having similar issues?

Oh . . . Hi there!

We've had a super bloom of native wild flowers all over the state this year. 

My California Poppies started blooming before Spring was actually here, and they are still going strong. In fact, we actually had to pull some that were getting trampled under the Plum tree and some that were filling in my herb patch.

It's A Garden Party! - and . . . We're back (I hope)

My garden has never been one to follow along with the crowd, and this year is no different. 

So, from my garden to you:

Happy Easter, 2017!
