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!
