Update on the Garden

In front:  The Weigela is still in bloom but nothing else right now although the spirea has buds.

South:   The cat mint is in full bloom.   It is incredible how huge it gets in just a short time.  Peas and swiss chard are growing but a long way from harvest.

In back:  The purple clematis and the polish spirit clematis are recovering from the bad spring.  The chives are still in bloom as are the lavender iris and the purple iris around the water fall.  Also the cheddar pinks are in bloom around the water fall and in the perennial garden. The dogwood is starting to bloom.   In the shade garden the columbine are still in bloom.   The laminum has done poorly this spring, but since we have trimmed the arborvitae back, they are now doing better.   One bridal spirea has had lovely white blooms but the bridal spirea have not done well these past two years.   In the perrenial garden we still have lavender iris in bloom.  

All the roses have buds and so do the white and pink peonies although they don't look very healthy either.
