i'd thought the rhubarb didn't make it.   I couldn't see the ID thingy anywhere and neither the little plant.   All through the months since September.   But today….the ID was turned sideways,  just a thin line of it under some overgrown grasses.  Rhubarb.

There are 3 of these,  maybe a few inches over a foot tall?    Does anyone know what they are?  Volunteers.  BEAUTYFULL plants

The second try at a Fig.   That first one…the root system eaten to a nub by the Whatevers that burrow in the grassy hillside at A.  This has 4 branches.   All with leaves…this branch the fewest leaves but…..!!!   a FIG.

Madder.  Grown from seed last year.   Robust and established now.

Plumcot…Apricot/Plum.   Both it and the Asian Pear are  FULL of blossoms and have recovered the carnage by the deer last summer.   This will be their 3rd year.   If it's like where i've lived before,  the first year is when the tree decides to live or die.  The second,  to establish the root system.   The third,  they begin to Grow.   

it went on and on like this.   Many more things happening,  like a Miner's Lettuce self planted at the Wall Garden.   A BIG  Storksbill at Tazmeena's grave.   There was SO MUCH and the Willingness of all these Plant People to share space…..I just lay down on my stomach in the grasses there smelling the Earth.   Feeling SUN.   Feeling so incredibly Grateful for this life

    My Peach Trees followed this path. Fourth year fruit. The grapes also.
    The Spring figs are named Breva. And later a second larger crop. I don’t remember the second crop name.
    Everything you show looks healthy- happy.
    My witch hazel is blooming- here in Winter with snow- the yellow of spring flowers on one tree.
    I stop and touch. Know it’s coming- Spring.
    I am tired and not feeling well. Washing my hands. No fever.

    Just now happy discoveries in the garden: We did a lot of pruning on our grapevines, letting the larger vines dry out so today I cut them into smaller sizes because I use\d them to hang my cloth work; I especially like the tendril-ly bits that curve above and sometimes onto the cloth.
    Nice sunny morning here so I checked out our various garden beds filled with leaves and straw. WOW, found to my joy:some arugula and romaine lettuce self seeded; thyme didn’t die out under it’s bed of straw and leaves and tiny green leaves are sprouting; sage also held as did catnip. Like to make hot and iced tea with catnip leaves and we also dry it. Rosemary always holds and oregano comes back every year. This is such a gift because this was a very cold winter here in New Mexico.
