My peach is in full colour, very pretty, and its offspring is also flowering well this year, next door. I sprayed mine but left the young one, I want yo see just how much of a difference the winter copper does. And yes, I did wonder about repotting the crowns and might just do that, even if I do it into pots with their bottoms removed and slightly heeled into some waste ground in one of the 'community' gardens not allocated to any tenant. That way they can get a decent root run and I can superfeed them when I do my other pots. Plenty of big pots around here I can 'renovate' to half bury without too much effort. I think long lived producers like rhubarb do better if they can get their toes into the ground. The other plant I have is in among my salvias at the front door and it has hearted up beautifully, I noticed the other day it is putting on a spring growth burst despite a good layer of composting plane tree leaves.
And my beautiful old ginkgo bonsai is showing green, waking up from its winter sleep for another year of life. Every year I wonder if my neglect and ignorance has killed it, but not this year it seems. And every year I think I should rehome it to someone who knows what they are doing...
