Cayuga Morning

Garden still covered by snow....it is a late spring thus far.

We have had a lot of rain this spring. Now that it has warmed up, the plants are loving it. Everything is very lush.

I need a haz-mat suit. Our town is so over run by ticks. 3 of 6 forays to the community garden, I came home with ticks.

How in the world are you? I've been absent for a long and missed a whole lot it looks like!

Garden has gone beddie-bye for the winter.

Garden is put to bed for the winter.

Dry dry dry....the gardens are parched. I am lugging water in the veggie plot and hoses at home!

Perennial garden is coming in to bud. I love this stage. Veggie plot in the community garden is also coming along.

Good Morning!!! 5/7/16 how in the world are you? Long time no see :) Obviously I've been away for a while and I'm trying to relearn this format. I read somewhere that you are on another forum, which one is it? Is it easier to navigate than The Stew?

Getting near time to put the perennial garden to bed. Cover crop is sown on the vegie bed.

Garden is beginning to wind down. Phlox, rudbeckias, ligularia, chelones, foxgloves, anemones in bloom.....but all are looking a bit tired.

Flower garden is just coming into bloom: siberican iris, peonies, coreopsis, catchfly, lady's mantle, iris, amsonia, globe allium.

Garden is waking up! Primroses, rhododendrons azaleas are all in bloom.
