The Garden----here it was just a month earlier---pretty sleepy and just barely greening up----if you step off my back porch and make an immediate left, you will see the arbor....clematis clings to the arbor and I've left the dried vines from last year to
help hold this year's growth----we'll see how that works.
 |
| But here in June, the clematis is springing up quite nicely but has not bloomed yet |
| |  |
| The rhubarb a month ago.... | | |
|
 |
| And the rhubarb on June 2, 2011 |
 |
| the garden near the pond a month ago in May |
 |
| Lots more colors and varieties which have popped up |
And my peonies back in May? Just barely peeking their heads above the soil....
and things looking rather gloomy that day!
 |
| Quite a difference!!! But they still haven't bloomed....that's OK....I'll have a big vase ready for 'em when they do! |
|
 |
| One of my little flower pots |
 |
| Here's the poppy plant now....almost ready to POP! |
 |
| Lilacs are now blooming and they smell heavenly |
 |
| flowers, ferns, and peonies |
 |
| hanging baskets, bears, and birdhouses |
 |
| herbs |
 |
| some of my potted flowers |
 |
| hanging baskets and a lilac bush near the porch |
 |
| more baskets |
 |
| my roses just taking off... |
 |
| my strawberries and the little bundle of white? for my birdies to take for nest building |
 |
| the pond and FINALLY....green! |
 |
| my sprouts of parsley |
 |
| and my sign in the garden..... |
Hope you enjoyed the tour----wish you all could come over for tea and dessert on the back porch.....I'd love it!! xoxo
Lilacs are heaven on earth. And if not much is in bloom just yet, well, it's still all ahead to look forward to, of course. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, so lovely, Joann!! All your green growies are thriving after such a long winter! I always have loved lilacs (and lily of the valley). Thank you so much for your lovely garden tour and yes, would that I could make it over to have tea on the back porch and sit and chit chat!! Maybe someday, sweetie!! Always love your blog, Sherry xx
ReplyDeleteHi my darling friend! So sorry that I've only just got around to reading this lovely post...so wonderful to see your beautiful garden SPRINGING into life! Paul is power washing our deck right now - we're opening the garden next Sunday (19th) & there's a lot still to do! Will take lots of pictures. Are you taking any special plants with you when you move? I always think that's one of the saddest things about leaving a home...Love to you xoxo
ReplyDeleteDear Joann,
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking lovely! Thank you so much for the tour. I love the lilacs...ours are all gone now. I also enjoyed seeing your potted flowers on the steps and the hanging baskets. It is all looking so green and beautiful. I wish I could come over for tea and dessert! Wouldn't that be fun?! xoxo
