June is busting out all over..............

Finally some colour in the garden. I got most of the clean up done. Still much more to do but now I can take my time. The wind has now blown all the blossoms away. It also blew all the little "helicopters" off the Maple trees. They are a mess. A nasty mess. Well the deck is finished now, this week I hope Gerry will work on the doors. Any rate the poodles are enjoying the deck for now.

But we are more interested in the flowers for now. One surprised me and came back. That means I can invest in more for that space. When a plant does not thrive I don't buy it again unless I want to try it in a different spot. This one is doing well.
Now if I could remember what it's called

The Spirea has Lilly of the Valley growing under it. The lilly is very invasive and I have to keep it tight under control.

I also have Honeysuckle growing in the bushes of Spirea. This year I bought a different Geranium. I usually get pink but thought I would be different.

The Granny Bonnets are doing well.

I love the Candytuft. It spreads and comes up faithfully year after year. Its doing so well in the barrel.

  1. Great photos Janice ;o) I am the same way, if I buy something and it doesn't come back, I don't buy it again! I think mom's rose bushes I bought her this year for mother's day are dead! Darn it! I won't buy roses again! Hugs ;o)
