May Gardens

 

A few beautiful days have been wonderful garden time. 

Cool temps and no humidity and yes we will take that!

 Planted 2 red, white and blue planters for the 250th.

                      Time to see what came back and made it 

through an extra long frozen spell here in January.

The spirea and clematis are showing off.

The David Austen Rose is pretty happy right now also.

                         There are a few new spaces for seating 

and it is easier to get to now that the grass 

has filled in and covered the red clay dirt.

We added some garden edging (Bueta) 

with trying to keep upkeep a bit easier.

Some containers over wintered in the house

                                                  and some outside survived.

Some containers have perennials planted to fill in.

Red hot poker,  acanthus, yarrow and phlox.

Plantings in the slip scoop from the farm, golden huechera,

hostas in a pot, (they do better here with the slugs)

 and popcorn drift roses.

This clematis was planted last year 

and bloomed beautifully this year already.

Sweet William always reminds me of my grandfather.

This rose smells so wonderful.

That's the May gardens.

On to June!!!
