05/15/2009: "May Flowers... or sprouts at least"

today's weather: 68°F Mostly cloudy with a couple of showers and a thunderstorm
weather forecast: 64 °F Partly sunny and breezy

So far, so good. It seems to rain a lot so far this April-May, but things dry out occaisionally and things are growing nicely despite some chilly (but not freezing) nights.


A few shots...






[Above picture] This front yard garden is on its third year, with many of the plants filling in nicely.






[Above picture] Under the Magnolia tree are: Lakeside Beach Captain, Eye Declare, and Touch of Class. They are starting their second year with much more foliage than they ever had last year.






[Above picture] This is John's Garden - named after a great friend of mine who did all the work putting it in on a visit in Summer 2009. With one notable exception (the huge anchor on the end) the plants were all grown from seed, planted, sawed off by rabbits, and still survived the Winter. These are tough little Hostas.






[Above picture] The North Garden in the backyard is full of some late-arriving but thriving plants this Spring. Elegans, Seafire, and Sum & Substance are all doing well - though the garden itself still needs some cleanup.






[Above picture] 2009's Hostas from seed are transitioning outdoors. Some have gotten a bit too much sun already (like their gardener - ouch!) but most are doing well. There is more to come.
