It has been so rainy here lately. Good for the garden, but goodness it would be nice to have a few more sunny days thrown in there.
The tulips are done now and the alliums have started, which were planted as fall bulbs last year.
I sprinkled these all over the front and back gardens. They are fun and they don’t get eaten by rabbits, moles, squirrels.

My shade bed in back seems like it is starting to get somewhere. It’s an area that I have struggled with the last few years.
Clumps are getting bigger – and this is just springtime, too! The Solomon Seal that started as two stalks:
It’s flowering now
These are so fun, aren’t they?
Some of the heuchera are flowering now:
These plants are really grown for the colorful foliage, but the flowers are light and airy and bring in bits of color.
Everything is really wet right now, but growing well. I only lost a couple of plants over the winter, so that is a bonus!
Next week might be irises. I’m going to have a bumper crop of boysenberry buttercup and batik flowers this year, plus a couple new ones!
Have a safe and happy Memorial weekend! Thank you to all service men and women.
So fun to see some flowers! I meant to comment earlier that I love your kitchen floor! Enjoy the holiday weekend.
I am so glad to be seeing blooms and flowers. Winters are kind of hard up here, so it really makes you appreciate spring, summer and fall.
The purple alliums are so vibrant! I just bought a hanging pot of portulaca (for $5, woohoo!) and am looking forward to seeing bright pink flowers all summer. As long as I remember to aim the sprayer up high when I’m watering the pots on the patio, that is…
Your garden is looking so nice! We’ve had a lot of rain here too. the biggest canterbury bells (that still hasn’t bloomed) got knocked over! I have it staked up now. Hopefully it will still bloom!
