But the zeph smells wonderful, doesn't it? My first tomato to set buds was Sun Gold, started from seed mid-Feb. I pinched it off a few weeks ago but it's got too many set on now, and it's not in the ground yet... I love this time of year!

My first tomato blooms were on Siberian. My Cecile Brunner has a few buds opening up. It is always my first rose to bloom. It is monster that covers the whole back of our shop. I just planted Zeffy bare-root this year. I am looking forward to having fragrant blooms from her in the future!

I have a Cecile Brunner that is a year old and getting bigger so I may get a lot of blooms from her this year. They are such cute little buds. I've grown Siberian before but don't have it this year.

I've got 'Felicia' & 'Cecil Brunner' roses and 'Sweet Baby Girl' cherry tomato blooming...

I was surprised to find some open blooms on Excellenz von Schubert. It is off where I don't see it much. Marechal Niel looks nearly gone, only a little green left at the bottom of the cane. OTOH, Champney's Pink Cluster is really taking off and growing over the trellis. It may be a house eater. Both are 4 yrs in the ground, and Reve d'Or at 5 yrs is really growing well with lots of 8'+ canes and buds, some nearly open.
