Been very busy in the yard.
Edged the driveway, to get it ready
to seal this weekend.
We do it on the Memorial Day weekend,
because there is very little traffic
on our otherwise very busy road.
We also use this long holiday weekend,
to finish any major yard work,
for starting in June,
we'll be gone just about every
other weekend this summer.
But things are shaping up nicely.
I seem to have lost a purple Lupine,
and also an Azalea.
I'm surprised about the Azalea,
since I've had it for several years now.
But that's gardening,
you never know from year
to year, what will come back.
And of course a few pics of some
more things blooming right now.
First is I believe a type of
Ranunculus, with tiny yellow flowers
in front of some early Iris.
Next is a ground cover,
called Sweet Woodruff.
One of my favorite ground covers!
Next is Creeping Thyme,
with itsy bitsy teeny pale purple flowers.
And it's growing next to Mother of Thyme,
which will bloom a little later.
And the orange flower is a Geum.
And last is a dwarf Cranesbill.
Only about 4 inches tall,
but very heavy bloomer.
great for a borders edge.
My Tree Peonies are starting to bloom,
so pics will follow soon!
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy mother had trouble with azaleas in north central PA, but others did not. It must have been the variety. Ours are doing well.
I have two azaleas planted within about 7 or 8 feet of each other. One blooms every year, the other doesn't. Very strange.
ReplyDeleteThe one that blooms is white, the other red is the only difference I know of.
Your yard is looking really good. :)
Your gardens are beautiful. All the hard work you put into them is definitely worth it!
