Pinkabelle

I went to Adelaide over the weekend to visit my nephew for his first birthday, the hot, dry Adelaide air insisted that summer was coming and I have returned with a sense of urgency regarding getting some salad leaves planted. My garden was completely neglected in my absence. There was a minor mishap with my pipsqueak citrus trees but the crisis was averted and they are all in big new pots which are much heavier and therefore less likely to be blown over (or perhaps knocked over by the dog) but it was my brand new Pinkabelle tree, a dwarfed pink lady apple tree, that truly blessed me upon my return. She had been busy over the weekend and had grown her first leaves and blossoms. When a new tree arrives it is pruned right back to a stick so these green shoots and pink flowers are showing she likes her new home.
