I thought today would be a good time to do a blog post as the rain continues to fall. I have never known a June quite like this. I am amazed that some of my plants are still standing after several strong windstorms. The one good thing though is everything is looking very lush and […]

After the first flush of early spring bulbs and flowers the garden seems to be in a hold pattern until the early perennials bloom along with early flowering shrubs and roses.
