June Garden Beauty ~ Last year

    Hello everyone, 

We had a beautiful sunny warm day

here today and the garden is realyy

jumping ahead.

As I was looking at my photos

of the garden from last year I

realized that I hadn't posted

thes photos of our garden

from last year of our

June garden.

June is my favorite time in the garden

as everything is so lush and green.

It is also when the peonies and

lilacs bloom....two of my favorites.

Peonies,hostas, geraniums,

lupins and lilacs.

I love peonies in all colors.

William Baffin is a hardy climber

for our winters.

Sarah Bernhardt peony

We have over 100 peonies spread

out over our garden mixed in

with other perennials.

I love peonies,roses and

lilacs all together.

more peonies

We have spent several hours a day

in the garden this past couple

of weeks and still have several

beds to clean up but we have

our eye on the big picture

and can see the beauty to

come. When the beds fill in

there will be less work to do

and lots of beauty to enjoy.

To Debbie R who asked for a tip

on starting a garden, it all starts

with good soil. We have enriched

our soil with mushroom compost

several times over the years.

Next tip would be the right plant

in the right place, so make sure

you read your tags ....sun

or shade, dry or wetter conditions

etc.  

Have you all watched the show GardenAnswer

....there is lots of knowledge to be had

from watching it. I watch it on youtube.

I also watch English garden shows

whenever possible as I am a big

fan of their style. I love to get

inspired by beautiful gardens.

As we clean up each bed I

often end up dividing and

moving things around

hoping to make little

improvements as we go.

So far,it has been an earlier spring

then usual and rain is predicted

for a couple of days so things

will really take off!

Thank you for your visit!

Carolyn
