What a difference a week makes........

Tomorrow is June 1st. The weather is still quite cool for this time of year. It goes up and down. From almost frost in the morning to 81 in the afternoon. I didn't do as much as I would have liked this week. Getting up to get Cooper to school is killing me, what a wuss. I don't know why I am so tired. Ah well.
Lets see, I went out to check on progress and took a few pictures. The Lilly of the Valley smell wonderful and the Wild Honeysuckle right next to it is overpowering.


It looks like Bella and Boots are recovering on the deck.

In the very back shade garden a few things are blooming. I have yet to dig them in but will do because they seem to like it where I put them.


The Ferns seem to have taken so I will get a few more later maybe. Meanwhile I need to put some dairy doo down. I looked at old pictures and it seems the Hosta used to get a lot bigger.
Meanwhile, out front the main garden is filling in and now I see where I can dig out some ferns. Maybe I will replace with Day lillies or Echinacea. I need to cut back the hedge to give more light and fertilize. I don't seem to have a lot of luck growing things. However you can see that my new bird bath is looking more at home now.



So far the blossom on the Apple tree is scarce.



Under the other side of the Apple tree is a mess of 3 shrubs and some white flowers, at the back and a mix of Yellow flowers and Asters.I made the mistake of putting in some Vinca Vine and I have to dig/pull that out to make the garden work.



Several other things around the front gardens. I like to have little pathways and hidden features around so here are a few.





The back gardens are full now. No room for more but it needs some colour so I may put a few pots of impatience among all the green.






I had trouble with the shrubs I put in last year. I thought they had died. There are a few sprigs on each that are alive. SO I will trim them back and feed and baby them.




Boots followed me around to the front and basked on the front porch while I was out there

The trees (Maple) have been really messy. I need to sweep everything and pull weeds between the paving stones on the patio. I have read of a few things to try and when that's done maybe some stones in between. Looks like it will be work all summer at this rate. I think the Chickadee babies are fledged as they are chattering up in the tree. They are flying but not yet expert, I almost got hit by one. That reminded me of the year one landed on my shoulder all out of breath.
