Spring has sprung

We planted out final RYT plots today, still have pathology, iso's and the short row breeding nurserys to plant but we are on the down hill side of planting. The bad news is that we got 1.5 inches of rain on Tuesday and likely more tonight.

Here are some images of the May flowers sprung from April showers.



The south side garden - lots of blue


The north side garden is just starting, Daisy is peaking under the gate - going to be tough to get the color on the north shady side but I am trying. At least the ivy grows well.


2nd year red & yellow columbine with "snow on the mountain" growing vigoriously - a great ground cover - want any?



My planter pansys & snapdragons are blooming




The old climber is filling out, should be blooming soon, the BT roses have buds, and the new climbing blaze is leafing out.





As you can see I have do have a place to rest in the shade this summer.

BTW, I got a post card from Ireland from Vern (he signed Page's mom name too - but it was written by Vern). I'll have to think about touring Ireland should I pickup a Mini via european delivery, when and if they ever start the program and I buy a new Mini. As for the sheep, Daisy might be interested but likely wouldn't enjoy the quartene. Charlie on the other hand...
