Nature Note:Back to Flocks

The resident Canada geese are back in their flocks,having split up for a while in order to breed.Indeed,much of the growth and reproduction in the natural world has already been accomplished in the Mid-Atlantic by early June.The chrysanthemums have budded in preparation for their first blooming.Early tomato plants have green fruit hanging even now.The first seeding has sprouted or not by now.There is still plenty of time to replant seed or seedlings to reach the season's goals.
