Hi, Guys. Back from "Life happens." Keven, I need to take photos of my gardens, but this is the first day I have time and it's only 54 out there so I can only tell you that I have several semps already blooming in last year's new rock garden. I hope none of the single semps in the new bed is giving in to the crazy weather we're having and blooming. Nothing had started last week and the pots are fine, so I should still have time to nip any stalks in the bud.
Its gone from 100's to 40's, but at least with plenty of rain and others have kept their eyes on the pots. I did make it out to the front rock garden yesterday -- until I realized how cold it was! And I absolutely have to catch the delphiniums! They are amazing this year -- last year they were, like my semps, just scraggly seedlings...
Take care -- Hope to be back fairly soon after another "Life Is Happening" tomorrow...
Paddy, it's good to see you're getting your feet wet with pollination. Kevin will keep you on the high road!
And Pia, you are doing amazing things without real flower beds!
