Gardening: In Full Bloom

Spring has been hitting hard here in the west. I can tell because my family has all been sick with sinus infections and other yucky effects of spring. The main problem is we get rain so infrequently, when it comes, all of the mold and pollen from the trees that has been collecting for months on end comes flying around. Plus so many trees here actually bloom, allergies are at an all time high.

The nice part about spring is that everything is so beautiful in the spring. This is my neighbor’s tree in full bloom. As pretty as it is, it is a killer too! I love spring where I live but I have to admit, I am happy when the blooms are gone and the leaves begin to grow! Do you have blooming trees or allergy issues in the Spring too?
