💥 👀 Visit GG’s red buckeye/scarlet buckeye/firecracker plant a few times in the next couple of weeks.

Whatever we call it, they are one of the action-packed early signs of spring.

🚀 Can grow a couple feet in a few weeks, then 🎉 throws out its neon red blossoms. Shortly after, loses it leaves and 😴 from May-ish to next March.

A GG volunteers sent in pics of the gulf coast toad that greets them every time they water. From UT “During the breeding [spring] season, males will call with a short flat trill that lasts a few seconds. Females lay eggs in strings, and these clutches can contain up to 20,000 eggs. Tadpoles hatch about one to two days after the eggs have been laid, and it will be another 20 – 30 days for them to change into toadlets. These young toads will hang out for a while at their natal pond, but will disperse as they get older.”

Hornworm 🐛, a nemesis for many tomato-loving gardeners.
The white eggs are from braconid wasp, which gardeners 🥰 b/c it controls hornworms (& the wasps don’t sting).

“Instructions on not giving up” poem by

More than the fuchsia funnels breaking out
of the crabapple tree, more than the neighbor’s
almost obscene display of cherry limbs shoving
their cotton candy-colored blossoms to the slate
sky of Spring rains, it’s the greening of the trees
that really gets to me. When all the shock of white
and taffy, the world’s baubles and trinkets, leave
the pavement strewn with the confetti of aftermath,
the leaves come. Patient, plodding, a green skin
growing over whatever winter did to us, a return
to the strange idea of continuous living despite
the mess of us, the hurt, the empty. Fine then,
I’ll take it, the tree seems to say, a new slick leaf
unfurling like a fist to an open palm, I’ll take it all.
