Just in time, I think, because I am SO far behind with my normal spring pruning and garden maintenance.
Variegated Solomon's Seal
Brunnera macrophylla
Part of this delay is because we had winter weather for a lot longer than usual this year. Those of you who follow along on Instagram are aware that I have been traveling a LOT this year, which has taken me away during prime garden prep season. Trips are finished for a few months (I think), so I have to get cracking.
Pink Lily of the Valley
Calycanthus
I was outside all day yesterday, pruning most of the Miniature Garden. Roses in all of the other gardens are finished. We had rain overnight, which made the garden too wet for work this morning ... perfect, though, for a quick circuit through with my camera to capture all the things in bloom. Later this afternoon, I hope that it dries enough for me to get outside to prune the last few roses. Weeding and mulching are next.
Dogwood
Lilac
Speaking of roses, buds on 'Dr. E. M. Mills' are beginning to show color!
For those who want to visit to see the roses in person, this year's Open Garden Day will be May 20, 2018, from 10am to 3pm. Everyone is invited. Dogs may come, too, but they must be on a leash at all times. No flexi/retractable leashes are allowed.
