Lotsa Pics… getting caught up...

First, a general look at the gardens… things are growing like gangbusters, but blooms are still slow to get started...

Up against the fence is a native wildflower that has come up just about every year…
Can't remember what it's called...

Phew!!  I really shouldn't go so long between postings…

Because things are growing but the weather's been "yucky" I've not been able to keep things up as nicely as I'd like… so I'm fighting the annual "Attack Of The Baby Trees" that comes from living in a tree-heavy area, and the attack has been vicious this year :(

Hoping the blooms all start opening soon so we can enjoy the colors…
