Garden after Rain......................

I love it when it rains, everything is so pretty and wet. So no gardening today, instead we went for a walk. I did go take some pictures this morning though.
MY stone garden looked nice after the rain.



See the Petoskey stones?


The Old Farm Rose has bloomed better this year, it has already had several flowers and more buds coming. This is the most fragrant ever.

Somehow and I have no idea how I am getting Holly bushes growing. There are several out back. No idea where this came from. I do have Holly that I bought but they are very different from these.

My Milk Weed is doing great, still no Butterfly though. In fact on our walk in the fields, only 2 Monarchs and a White one. None yesterday.


We saw White Yarrow flowers today, usually come in Yellow and this Pink. Thing is it spreads so much so I have to pull a lot of it out. Maybe I should put in in a pot

I have no idea what these are called but they are in bloom now and these too spread so much but are much easier to pull and control.


I can't remember what these are called either, another spreader that I have to control but so pretty,


This is Bud's new tree/shrub.I want one but I do not have anywhere to put one.

We did not swap the Iris this weekend, too wet and too busy but they will go where these Yellow daisies are and this is another one I had to weed out. They get tall and fall over so are a bit untidy.


I think stuff is really taking off this year. I have no room for new things. When I get extra I dump it under the pines to do as it wants. I am glad I talked to the man over the ally, I may be able to get some Hosta, he advised me to cut down some tree branches to get more light. He is right and I know Gerry will love doing that.
My Peace Rose is hanging on............so pretty.

This is my tree stump. I want to make a Fairy House out of it. I need a roof (Gerry) and will get some windows and a door to make it look like a house. Good idea? I thought so. Meanwhile the Fungi seem to like it and that will help with the illusion.

The Ivy is growing well and trying to escape.

So that's it for today. If it gets sunny tomorrow I think some of the Day lilies will be out. Think I will get out to see Alex tomorrow
