Well they don’t want to grow where I want them to, but they’re thriving in the rocks. 🤣

Hey locals!
I’m hosting a workshop at on July 13th at 1PM where you can come learn a little bit about pollinators and build your own bluebird house.

It’s a cedar bluebird house made from plans at the Audubon Society website. The pieces will be precut for you. Workshop cost is $45.

A week of spring noticing…

1. Trillium blooms
2. Ferns making their way back into the world #
3. A chickadee nest (no eggs yet)
4. A toad who found my porch flowers on a cool sunny afternoon
5. Volunteer daffodils that just seem to keep multiplying

This past weekend while wearing my hat, I spied an wreath on this wall. ✨💕

It’s my sister ‘s wall, but it still counts. ☺️

I’ve been patrolling the garden for signs of spring. They feel slow, but *they’re there* and that’s what matters!

I’ve lost a few tender perennials that I’d hoped might make it. And didn’t protect my roses well enough (errr, at all) so I have a bit more canes die back than I’d hoped for. That’s all part of the process and I’m excited to see where this season takes us.

I’ve got a whole pile of rose mallow seeds and my first germination trial was 100% - I’ve tried to grow these in the past but it turns out if you cold stratify them and then nick the seed coat, followed by an overnight warm water soak you can make magic happen.

I’ll have a few flats of these seedlings available early summer. They’re also known as a hardy hibiscus around this area because they’re perennials despite the cold winters. They grow 4-6 ft tall or so & while they like wet areas, I’ve had one happily growing in my dry/full sun front yard for the past 5 years.

Their big pink blooms are late summer and profuse!

I know it’s the spring of deception or false spring or whatever you want to call it, but today I stood in the sun with a t-shirt and got dirt under my fingernails. I planted up some ranunculus and anemone plants and in the not-so-distant future they’ll make the leap to the backyard.

What’s sounds better?

Over here we’re already looking forward to letting the light back in. Happy Solstice.

I’ll be sad when these blooms are done, but the urge to hibernate is creeping in. Anybody else?

Dahlia’s are starting to come on a bit stronger & they’re lovely.

I have no idea which is which without a serious deep dive, except for the last one which is a seedling bloom from a packet of Bee’s Choice.

These are sucking my soul out of me.

That is all. 😂

(it’s also a bit dramatic, not quite THAT bad but they are pretty obnoxious).
