Everyone's pictures are wonderful--peonies are addictive, I want every one I see... Clematis are like that, too, and roses are next. And Lilies. LOL. Not my fault, can't be helped... Flowajen, you have hydrangeas already?! Love the greens!

Woodland plantings are so peaceful...

This weekend I finally caught up enough to relax about what's left to do. There are plenty of chores and projects left, but all the must-be-dones are either done or edited out. Entrance planters filled, beans, squash, nasturtiums planted, fence up around the tender greens, Blue Garden well started, Standard PG Hydrangea that Sandy felled replaced, and its bed refurbished with a new scheme. Seedlings, co-op and trade plants either planted or potted up. Etc, etc, etc.

All sorts of things are popping... A Martagon Lily has its first bloom (1), Lush Lupines (2,3), Rose What a Peach (4), overview.

Lots of Captain Jack's Spinosad seems to be keeping the lily beetle population down, hope it works on the Japanese ones too. Maybe this year I'll get more than one flush on some of them...
