I figured I would list some of the flowers that are in bloom, in the garden as well as plants that are in the nursery. It can work as a good reference point for all of us next year to compare where things are in comparison to this year.
   The dogwood trees have been blooming for about 2 weeks now. The alliums are starting to bloom now, as well as the bleeding hearts, Solomon seal, forget me nots, primrose, a few daffodils still, azaleas, rhododendron is starting, native azalea is almost finished. I believe that may be it for the yard. The pollen from the spruce's this year was terrible. The driveway is still a yellow green from it.
   In the nursery the creeping phlox is blooming, so isn't Red Fox veronica, some gauras (whirling butterflies), Johnny Jump Ups, burgundy gallardia is close to flowering, bleeding hearts and the huechera's are starting.
   Ahhh...the sun is really shining now. We had a nice rain all of yesterday, a good soaking gentle rain. Temperature should be 66 today and chance of showers this afternoon. Time for me to get out there and get started. Take care!

  We had a great weekend and wish to thank everyone for making that possible. It was nice to see some familiar faces from last year and so many new ones. We hope that everyone enjoyed themselves as well and found what they were looking for. Not many people mentioned or used their discount that they were sent. We do this for your benefit and as a loyal customer or loyal website reader we want to show our appreciation. If you haven't joined the website, please do. We wish to show or appreciation from time to time by sending out some sort of discount or advanced notice on something we feel may be of interest to you. Again, Thank You to everyone, its time for me to get back to the garden.  

   We've had frost the last two mornings. I say its time for that to quit. Plants have been covered so they are fine. I started my squash seeds yesterday for my garden, along with cukes. I'm sure these will greatly benefit the wildlife like they have in the past. My part to save the wildlife I guess. I look forward to the veggie garden as much as I do the other gardens. Its always fun to see what I can keep from the animals and enjoy myself. I have plenty of tomatoes this year so I should get a few for myself. Lilacs are getting ready to flower and the peonies are growing strong. My daffodils left a lot to be desired this year. I will have to plant more and see what happens. The suns now up and it should warm up soon. Time for me to get busy. Lots to do before we open. Weeds keep growing.
