Sometimes you just have to stop looking at the weeds & look around the plot! As well as my peach, pear & plum 2 of the Mooli have gone to flower & I really like it. Stands out due to their height & they start with a pale pink flush, gradually fading to white. Like them enough to leave a couple next year as well. So here's apple, pear & Mooli in blossom! And Plum Beauty who has finished it's display weeks ago has loads of wee fruit developing.

My apples are close to opening, just sprayed them as I get scab, don't spray again till after flowering as don't want to harm any bees.
Been gardening for over 65 years and still learning.

Love your pictures. It's so true...I've just spent a couple of hours weeding and never looked at the blossoms at all. Off out again to look at pretty things in the garden...and B****r the dandelions!
