Yard ‘N Stuff
I’ve been working in the yard. Note, now, the grasss is green (it won’t be for long). Look at this!
However, the yard really isn’t the point. You’ll recall that after the persimmon tree fiasco, I decided I wouldn’t plant except in the established beds. Well, the front one is packed full (there are things popping up in the empty spots). The peonies are just now starting to open:
In front of it, the gerber daisy is going full guns, and the first azalea bloom is open (it’s white, and at the bottom). The lillies seem to be happy, and the rose, after just sitting there and doing more or less nothing, has suddenly started putting out lots of new growth:
The clematis (white) has started to bloom, and the dianthus (white and purple, on the right) is blooming all over the place. The purple foxglove is budding.
The lavendar foxglove is also starting to bud, and as you can see, the black-eyed susans are spreading (I have these everywhere, all over):
The coreopsis has started to bloom and the lillies seem happy:
Anyway, that’s what I’ve been doing.

nice. after spending the past three days doing yard work, happily, reinforced by more than a few Rolling Rocks, I took a bunch of similar photos, but didnt post ‘em yet. Those peonies look happy - mine bloomed this weekend.

Hey, did that persimmon take, after all that work? I don’t think mine has…though considering the drainage problems I have back there, it’s not the fault of One Green World. Most stuff is finally kicking in.
I’ve had the week off to get the garden in and the place shaped up. Except for the sunburn and bug bites, I’m in great shape,
