What happened to May...and now June???

Category: Spring | Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2010 5:14 am

I feel like spring has passed me by, but then again we haven't had much if any warm weather. Only one or two days of 70F, and most of the time its been cool and in the 50's with wind and rain.

I have given away most of my sedum and semp starts. Have a few more for give aways at the neighborhood art and garden walk. I love the variety of semps I have been able to multiple from just a few small starts. Here are some of my faves.

The ground cover pink flowering strawberries finally quit sulking and started to bloom. They really didn't appreciate our cold December.

The wild lupine is still loved by the native bumble bees. It is quickly finishing one cycle and starting another.

Well, this last photo is what I'd like to spend the next few days doing...when I'm not getting my fingers dirty. I wonder if Buddy will let me join him. Oh yeh, it's my bed.

A summer break and wind-down is in order. :D

What I really want to do...soon :D ( photo / image / picture from Jewell's Garden )

Happy Gardening!

Enjoyed viewing your photos, Buddy looks way to comfortable! We have the opposite weather...went from our coldest winter to our hottest spring, since May our temps are in the high 80s-90s, unseasonable HOT!

Thanks for sharing your part of the world, Jewell. You've beautiful plants. Spring came and went by too quickly for me too. We have some good weather and we were able to put up an arbor and a some paving step stones...which was nice. Wishing you a beautiful summer.

You have done a super job of propagation. I am not surprised if all those will be taken.
The strawbs and Lupines are so nice to see. I guess that you will have oodles of seeds.

But that last picture really makes me want to go on one earmyself.
Gosh, that kitty looks sooooooo comfy and content.
