It's time for the annual 'first salmonberry blossom' post. And this year I noticed my first salmonberry on May 9th - er rather Nora pointed them out to me! It's the same set of bushes against the fence at the end of my driveway that seems to blossom early every year. The fence faces south and creates its own microclimate. I think May 9th is about long term average for the first salmonberry blossom, but late for the last 10 years or so. Last year they actually bloomed later (click here for 2021 post, and here and here for some other posts).
This year I was away in Kiliuda Bay for the first dandelion blossoms and the cliffy south pointing roadside downtown are already a wash in yellow. But dandelions are not something I celebrate. I have not seen any blooming in my yard yet, but clearly it is time to start the annual morning 'pull dandelions from the lawn' routine. ughhhhh.
