No gardening today

It was kind of windy and chilly until late afternoon.  Planted Danielle's dark delphinium seeds yesterday - out front near the mock orange.

Hedgehog white spruce

Another of my favorite little trees, sometimes this gets lost among the aubrieta and spurge on either side.

Golden dwarf Hinoki cypress




One of our mini tree collection... this is bright yellow on all the areas touched by the sun.

My special columbine

This pale lavender columbine is a variation of the brighter blue alpine columbine beside it and something else.  These seeded in the yard last year so I just put rocks around them so Kelly wouldn't mow them over.  Back right is Herman's Pride lamium.  Blue hosta Halcyon behind the columbine.

Side pathway

View down the side.  The hostas are starting to fill in nicely!

Sitting on the front step

Beautiful sunny day!  Cranesbill, thrift, phlox and candytuft blooming.

Planted seeds... red flax and "Mission Bells" Californian poppies together in the new garden out front... calendula near the mock orange... all of Danielle's light shades of delphinium behind the big rock in the back centre garden.

Planted Siberian wallflowers beside the false indigo out front.
