June Garden

Category: Starting and Maintaining the Garden | Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2014 6:39 am

The miniature bearded iris were all moved to the front yard. I removed pavers to plant them in the patio area. I lost three varieties this spring because of the plants being new with incredibly heavy rains this spring. I had hoped to save some but only one looks like it might recover from the rot. Of the three two were reblooming varieties. Only the yellow one was unaffected. The front yard is the driest area with fairly sandy soil. All the transplanted iris look good and only one wilted from the move.

The foxgloves are in bloom. They are quite short this year. No twelve foot monsters. Many are only two feet and most are four to five feet. I am very pleased with the woodland garden. Am having a small garden party on Saturday. The tables are in place and the winter dirt has been scrubbed off. Just a few friends over for sandwiches and conversation.

The woodland garden has really grown and is a pleasure able place to listen to the morning bird songs. Here is a walk around. Hope you have your favorite beverage in hand.

I never knew that hostas had such variety. Hundreds of species and thousands of varieties. To top it off they sport and can self seed. What an incredible plant. Too bad it sleeps half the year.

Stunning foto's. It is difficult to imagine, but your garden just gets prettier and prettier. It is looking luxurious.

Thanks for the lovely tour of your garden, Jewell. Sorry that I've not been visiting this lovely website. This old house of ours has too much work to do. Hope that you're enjoying your new projects. When I have the time, I'll try to download some photos. Sending bright Reiki blessings to All at Garden Stew. - Agnes
