Thank you, Brad. We had rain again last night and that, of course, brings out the blooms.

You're starting to get lots of color in those beds! The reds really stand out in the Front View. Thanks for sharing your garden photos! Hope you are starting to feel stronger now.

Debra

Debra, I am at leat a week and maybe ten days ahead in blooms. I am better, but my energy evaporates frustratingly quickly. Thank you for asking. I am told I can expect a minimum of a month and likelly more before I have normal energy again.

kay

Looking good! Keep those photos coming.

Nancy

Kay: These are so wonderful to see. I love seeing how your garden progresses with blooms. The gardens look immaculate so I hope your not over doing it. Can't wait to see more pics.

Julia

You can see those clumps beginning to show. Lots of color already. Looking good!

No worries, Julia. That is careful photography and quick weed pulling in areas where the cardboard and mulch aren't in place. Some area are in good shape and others aren't and won't be in the foreseeable future. I just haven't go the strength. In fact I have a lot of FFOs today and just haven't posted them but will at a later time. I look to have my first of what DEbra calls my "rolling peaks" in a week or so at the rate they are blooming and the rains seem to keep coming.

I did want to post some ggarden shots since you asked about them.

Kate, since you asked, Peach Preserves bloomed again and it is as flat as any other Reimer. It is a bit more than seven inches.

It is just a bit peachier than is showing in the photo but not a lot.

Love seeing the bed shots! Just green here, getting rain today

What a treat for people driving by on the road to see. I bet you have lots of cars stop for a closer look at the garden. Your Clematis is a star right now. Looking forward to more photos............Maryl

Kay: Thanks for doing the garden shots. I just had the landscaper here this week to plant more trees for us. No way was I going to attempt to plant those. I'll stick to the easy stuff. LOL. I need to do another round of spraying when the weather breaks again as we are getting rain here today. I found a rabbit trying to build a nest by a yarrow planting.

Julia

You are right, Maryl. Cars do tend to go very slowing by the garden when it is in bloom, and some do stop. wow, Julia, an unwelcome tenant that rabbit. My son tells me that my grandson is wanting to earn some money and I am going to set him to doing some of the work I am not yet able to do, Julia, and I do no blame you at all! Planting trees is a lot of work.

kay

So very pretty, Kay! I am glad you are feeling well enough to enjoy your garden. Your grandson would be wonderful to do that manual labor! Be sure to snap him up!
