another sunday morning! the sun is shining, already 65 degrees and it is supposed to get into the 80's! just about ready for planting seeds and annuals, put a lot of hard work in the yard this past week.
looking around the garden, i just love how everything has it's time..right now, the alliums are in bloom, along with the soapwort and sea thrift. i see the lupine is starting to flower as well and one of the clematis is full of buds, ready to pop. out front, the bleeding heart is showing off. yesterday, i dug all the tulips out of the front bed (moving them to the back yard) and planted the english daisies. they look so nice. (the front bed is almost always an experiment as it is very shady & dry...am always trying to amend the soil).
by the wagon, the sweet william is also loaded with buds and i expect one morning this week, i'll walk outside and it will be full of flowers. i also found a volunteer bachelor button growing there and it is loaded with buds as well. the bellflowers will probably open this week. peonies are going to be awesome, so many buds! i still get excited about it all.
my only disappointment was the lilac. it looked very promising, but mother nature had other plans, two freeze/frosts when it was loaded with buds, and when the few buds that did open, they looked already old and spent. oh, well..will give it a good pruning and hope for the best next spring.
as soon as i am finished writing, am going to start my watering walk and take my camera outside and get loads of pictures. better yet, i'll use my brother's camera & then i can upload them right away!
