WELL GUESS WHAT folks. We here in the Pacific Northwest were blessed with a weekend of delicious sunshine and warm temperatures! Finally, I was able tackle the garden cleanup from last winter. Yes. I'm way behind but I made great strides and tonight my body is paying for it. Here are a few of my sightings.
| 'Georgia Peach' Heuchera is coming out of hibernation. |
| The dandelions are making good headway. |
| Daphne 'Summer Ice' is fragrancing the air. |
| This pretty pink lilac is just starting to add to the allure. |
| Lonicera tatarica 'Arnold's Promise' is aglow. |
| The Crab Apples are just stunning right now. |
| Weeds or wildflowers? I say weedy-wildflowers. |
| I can't remember the name of this Jacob's Ladder. |
| Silene (PINK) |
| Scabiosa 'Beaujolais Bonnets' bit the dust. And it was a MILD winter. Grrrr. |
| Phlox |
| Sorry. It's a bit blurry... This is Spiraea something or other, almost in bloom. |
| One of my tasks this weekend was to yank ivy from one of my fences. I saw this on a drive-by recently. My sentiments exactly! STOP GROWING! |
