Nice looking berm. Agree with the tradescantia ID.

got a couple of shots between drops yesterday.. going to have some ugly pics this year with the extra fence we had to put up for retaining wall jumping Hope
perennial snaps

iris are taking a beating with all this heavy rain

coral honeysuckle

salix - have it in a container.. have to cut it back this year.. too skinny

beautiful law Jen.... wish I could say the same for mine... but still have a lot of work to get there... I keep thinking the best would be having a white clover lawn... working on both... just put grass seeds all over last week and hope the rain will help grow!!!!

Everything is big this year. I think is the Milorganite I used - actually is the only thing I put everywhere - and bone meal for the irises... other than that I am pretty sure everything got milorganite... I love it...

First Peony to open!



Beverly Sills iris... love it....


Allison's Foxgloves starting to open also!



View from my front door

another view... front of the house






Rhapsody in Blue just opened today - so gorgeously purple... I so love this rose!!!!



Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale - first one to open....so love this rose... can't help it... it's just sooo gorgeous....

Beautiful kassiap! What do you have growing between the stepping stones? Beautiful lush walkway.

pretty shots Kassia... my foxgloves are just waking up too

Kassia I'm pretty sure I asked you this before but I have short term memory loss

What do you use to get rid of black spot on your roses?

Thanks!

Evan, it's thyme... tons of thyme... it's really a very rewarding plant... love it...wish my entire lawn was thyme!

Allison, I am so encouraged by all the foxgloves ... the new ones from winter sowing are also growing well...

Jen, I take the affected leaves out and spray with Shield-All from Gardens Alive - it's for more than blackspot... I actually got the entire thing for Roses - even Neem and Pyola oil. I used once and liked ... this year I will use again when Japanese Beatles show up in July ....

No blackspot for me so far... but one thing about blackspot - it does not kill the roses, just the leaves.... it;s annoying but does not really damage the plant. at least my roses have not died because of it...

Thanks Kassia.

Thanks for the info Kassia

they are some tough plants Kassia... I have some that seeded and thriving on the little patch of dirt exposed on the edge of our rock wall up the driveway.. ones that I thought I lost all together.. I WS'ed some a few years back.. gave them away at a swap and none of mine grew.. well it now seeded along the driveway... glad it is back so I can spread some more seed around

my shots for today
