some of my lillies are from previous years, some are new this "spring" .
we've had very few "nice days, one of which was carol's day ~ i'm sure carol smiled widely so we could have the day. most days are cool, grey, and damp - low 50's day, low to mid 40s at night. most unusual spring/summer. my sugar snaps peas for browsing have been in the ground almost five weeks and are only about 6 inches up. my older perennials are budding, but my new replacement plants are still mostly just like they were when they went in the ground.
all my berry bushes are slow, but they're fruiting, except for my plum and apple trees, which are new this year. they've been in the ground almost a month, and aren't doing a thing. i gave the old apple and plum trees to carlie, carol and ava's cousin, and they're doing great! [they were stripped when the moose chewed on them.]

yes, shawna, it was such a nice surprise when you popped in! i'm sorry to have missed you, too. couldn't stay long at ava's saturday, and i don't go out much -- gotta do my gardening and fuss with the birds! and to do that, for 20 minutes or so, gotta rest for the next coupla hours.
