Garden Notes

I finally figured out what was bugging me about the garden, last night.     Despite the fact that it’s a week after Memorial Day, and I always do my planting on Memorial Day (but skipped this year because we went to VT, and it was so freaking cold!), the iris are still not blooming.    But, they’re just about to bloom, so I’m going to pray this too cold weather breaks, and my tomatoes don’t get frost bite.

So here’s the haul, minus what my mother brought me this morning, which was mostly replacements for the herbs I should have already had, if winter had not been so cruel.

I did pick up some replacement heucheras, but otherwise mostly concentrated on veggies and herbs.    I did get some marigolds and alyssum, to break up the large pots of tomatoes and Swiss chard, but that’s about it for the side yard.
