...Garden Journal ..What's up:)

 

Some of my faves at the moment.That Iris..looked black before blooming:)Stunning color.

Peonies..and roses right now take centre stage..Feverfew also..with clematis starting to open on certain varieties..

It's raining as I type early Friday morning ..soon en route to see my physician..(Routine)..It is needed. 

Early this Spring we had endless rain which sure made things do really well.

That Diablo Ninebark is HUGE and very floriferous this yr.The blooms are like spirea.. but peachy..

I want to suggest that cake/loaf.

It's from Erin..Cloudy Kitchen.

Five stars.

On the large loaf,no lemon drizzle,just on small ones albeit a few.

This time of year gets quite repetitive.

With gardens:)

My apologies but this is how I can look back and see what was happening from year to year:)

Have a really nice weekend.. I'll be picking more of these:)

xo

PS   Follow IT might be a better place to follow me..Mail Chimp has stopped my posts again;)

A forgotten post ..BEECAUSE

 

Too much is happening:)

GRATEFUL.

More beauty days.

 

Before the bouquets of roses..Iris are resplendent and sometimes you are lucky and they are the perfect companion for a plant already living where you put them without knowing:)

Peonies bloom at the same time..but moreso the single petaled or double petaled..

The showgirls bloom when roses bloom here..at least this yr.

Bocconcini..the minis..taste like nothing to me s I need to jujje it up..marinated like above 

I am still in single and close to peonies..showgirls next..post I think..

Spiderwort has to be in areas you do not care if it invades your space..

Siberian Iris..never invades..

But look how sweet Spiderwort:)

Nothing like perfect Iris..

Rachel here..wrote that Iris had epaulettes..I LOVED that:)

 My roses are starting:)

Perennial geraniums never fault.

Rare are perfect days in gardens..Today was close.Green fresh mowed grass (clover)..sun.. coolish.. 

Edged beds..weeded beds..

I am ready for bed lol:)

Lazy hazy days of late Spring..

 

These are the days of surprise every day.

Sadly ..out west..the fires are raging..we are getting the fog air..from them certain days..event though we are provinces apart.

I had coffee with my young friend..and already my voice cracks..with the air quality..I was croaky.

I hope this ends for them soon.

Unimaginable.

I have faves in the gardens..Spirea..Korean Lilacs ..Irises..Tree peonies..Single peonies..at this time of year..it varies with the time frame..

I'm never alone in my gardens..

That cute bunny..and it's cottontailed cohort..ate my dill..parsley and sweet peas.:(

We have several birdhouses that lodge different birdies.

We visited a farm this week and I bought  farm fresh free range eggs.She sells them as soon as she posts them.

Quite a treck..but countryside..no traffic..we love that.

These can last 2 months,look at the colors!

My neighbours..brought me rhubarb,I made the NYTs rhubarb crisp.SO good..two ind sized ones for them and one for J.

They are so nice.

My irises are from Jain.

Many of you must remember her:)

The minis from Susan..

Gardenbuddies were INSTRUMENTAL in my love of gardening.

Have a good weekend..and week..

Time to smell the roses soon:)
