Garden Report

The front still looks wonderful with the moss phlox and the lilacs still in bloom.  And the spirea are still a beautiful orange tone.  

On the south the tulips are just fading.

In the back the lilies of the valley are blooming a little.  They have taken a long time to establish.   The bleeding heart and candy tuft are in bloom north of the deck.   By the water fall, the moss phlox are still in bloom and the iris is starting to bloom.  And the lamium blooms and blooms the whole year through.  

There are a lot of things with buds--the bridal spirea, the nine bark, the peony and the geranium in the perennial garden as well as the deep purple iris on the waterfall. There are also buds on the potentilla which is really weird because I didn't think it would bloom until July.

This year I'm looking to avoid killing the New Guinea again.  I sprayed it with the rose spray and it died.  I've found some natural soap sprays which I think I'll try.

We also have issues with the sprinkler system that need to be repaired.
