how's your garden doing this spring?
Everything's growing like crazy here, including the weeds. Added some vincas recently. Columbines are doing well. Found a cool variety elsewhere in the neighborhood, and I'm waiting for it to go to seed so I can snag some to spread in my garden.
Good timing today. We had a tree service doing some trimming on the big horse chestnut that overlooks our big raised bed in the back of the yard, which is our only place for shade plants. Last year I relocated an astilbe there from a sunnier spot that it didn't like. I'd ordered more astilbes and some cardinal flowers. The Fed Ex home delivery guy showed up just after the tree service finished, and I planted those new babies just before the rain started. Yeah!

It always feels good to plant something and then have mother nature take over the watering duties!

Too bad the rain didn't last long. Good thing I had plenty of rain in the rain barrel from the last storm.

Now harvesting wonderful raspberries every day. Yum! Little tomatoes and green beans are growing.
How are you all doing with your gardens?
Here's a short video of bees and roses in one of my garden beds and a front yard garden tour. -
