Now I grow flowers. Not a bad trade-off.
When you live in the country there are poles and electrical boxes and stuff in the middle of a garden. Self-seeding morning glory climbs the pole to make it less intrusive. The iris are in bloom. The yellow/orange came with me from my home in St. Paul. So did the jungle of daylily which are everywhere.
This is what I mentioned to Denise. In amongst all the ferns are hosta I'm slowly transplanting elsewhere.
This looks like a field of iris. I have another large bed of this same iris which hasn't bloomed yet.
One of two areas prepared for wild flowers.....
.....and the second. This one has been partially seeded.
I over-wintered this large pot of flowers in the house. It did well.
Last week I had the heat on. Yesterday was 90 F/32.2 C. Just as I was getting a good start on the yard and gardens in comes the heat and worse, humidity. I know it's our new normal but I sure would appreciate the old days of spring. Spring in Minnesota was typically May and June. Today will be more tolerable but then it starts up again and continues. Bah!

Wow, wow, wow! Your gardens are amazing! I'm just free seeding some areas.
Another two spots I wanted to plant depend on someone else's time for work so I may miss those plantings this year unless they show up and get going!
Your flowers are doing so well. My iris have mostly given up the struggle with ground cover. They hate covered roots and I lost that battle, mainly lack of digging strength to lift and move the iris away from the aggressive pachysandra.
