Garden Color

When I left on vacation, my yard was on the cusp of color. I was afraid I would miss the brilliant show.

Guess I just got lucky.

Tomorrow is P-Day. P is for planting, and I expect to get mud under my fingernails no matter how good my gloves are. Muddy nails means lots of yummy food in two-three months, so I don't mind a bit when I have to drag out the old scrub brush.

The strawberries should be on any time now and the Peony and roses look like they might make it for Memorial Day (fingers crossed). My lilacs always bloom later than everyone else's so I've cut a few branches to force on my kitchen window sill.

We have another big project planned for the garden with lots of pictures to come. We're trying potatoes (four varieties) and artichokes - yum! Happy Planting!
