Subject: RE: BS: The Spring Garden (N. Hemisphere)
bummer about your missing plants! do you have a shot gun?/!
some kind of compliment that she picked yours to nab?!
I have my hands permanently stained brown and green
from weeding and grubbing around in the garden.
Had several meals from the asparagus patch this
year...hooray for Hollandaise sauce! yum yum
the daffodills and tulips are basically finished blooming
as is the daphnia, quince, forsythia and star magnolia.
The redbud and lilac are beginning to fade now. I wonder
why my wisteria has never bloomed? perhaps too much pruning?
Apples, nectarines, cherries and apricot trees are done
blooming too. The roses are coming on and the clematis
are too. Pansies are smiling away , and candy tuft, iris,
calendula too. I wish whoever planted the vinca had never
done it but the little blue flowers are nice for butterflies.
Potatoes are up and peas too. and fava beans. oh yes and
grape hyacinth. I also have some hanging baskets of
Fuschia and Million Bells. Gotta fill the humming bird feeder soon.
