Spring is here & my gardens are in full swing. It seems like overnight everything has leafed out or started blooming. It’s fantastic.

 

SHADE GARDEN

Left: The rhododendron only has 2 bunches of these pink flowers. And the flowers that are there look a bit beat up.

Right: The Canadian thistles & dandelions are kickin’ my butt right now. They grow quicker than I can get them all pulled. On one of my weed pulling stints, Princess K came out in my boots. Totally made my day.
