springtime

no matter what

i'm up by 6am and in the garden

i have a lot to catching up to do

i got way behind while in paris

it's really starting to look good

most of the weeds are out

and i've done some rearranging

splitting and new plantings

all i need is some cedar mulch

since i have lots of shade plants

they bloom early

may is the best month in my garden

hopefully it will warm up so

i can get more work done later today

--------

some of my shade loving plants

astilbe, brunnera, coral bells, foamy bells,

bleeding hearts, ferns, solomon's seal,

corydalis, hostas, clematis, rhododendron,

lady's mantle, lungwort, periwinkle and hydrangea
