We have had a cool spring. Nice for tulips and daffodils as the bloom extends like keeping flowers in a florist cooler. It has kept things from coming up as quickly. One thing that I have been watching carefully is the bed with my new purple passion asparagus crowns. With a couple days in the 80's they went from zero to six inches in a day. I was able to start adding a bit more soil to the trench.
The rain garden is in bloom with Pulminaria, Virginia blue bells, sweet woodruff, vinca, trilliums, bleeding heart, Trollius, blood root, and forget-me-nots. I tucked some annual Linaria and added some purple alyssum next to the white. I also lifted some extra sweet woodruff up to share with a friend so I have a little more space in the sunny zone for annuals.
My husband is getting the trellising material together for the kiwi vines and supports to espalier the apple tree I have to plant. Soon there will be a new raised bed for annuals along an otherwise dreary chain link fence. I guess we haven't gotten too old yet to get a few more big projects done.
