Sorry I've been gone so long.
I've been doing the daily grind and sulking over our COLD, cloudy spring....
but alas warm temps surely do come and as usual we go from cold to 85 & HUMID!
Rose's all looking wonderful and I'm still pruning.
Some cane damage this winter to a few usually cane hardy varieties.
We had a rough winter.
Some of my Alba's will need major pruning of old woody growth
after they are done this year but can't wait!
Many of my maturing shrubs and ramblers are HUUUGE!!!
Here's some new 2011 pics from around my place.
Hope everybody is doing well.
Miss Kitty laying among the growing roses & lavender...
Gremlin our 20 yr. old barn cat developed some awful hair mats
this winter. Here she is shaved down and looking pretty funny.
She's taken up her usual spot on the kitchen porch.
Darwin Tulips! Get some!
They come back and they're fabulously gorgeous & cheerful.
Just what I need after a long, dark winter.
