Well, those temperatures were for yesterday and as I sat to post I noticed the date and realized that I do have time to actually post a bloom day post hosted by Carol over at May Dreams. No one is more surprised than I am by this early posting and this mornings’ walk in the garden provided content. Not only are there blooms on the squash plants but, finally, there are squash on the plant. They will be tomorrow night’s dinner along with some broccoli. Here are the blooms on the potatoes
which look like they are doing well. I haven’t grown them before and they are so lush I can’t imagine being without them in the future. The daylilies are blooming
as are the monarda or bee balm which is attracting hummingbirds.
Fighting hummingbirds. The dill has a limey green blossom
which smells even better than it looks. Its’ ferny presence in the garden is very welcome. The sweet peas are actually just starting to bloom.
Better late than never. Annabelle
and Endless Summer hydrangeas
are blooming along with cimicifuga
and butterfly bush.
Sometimes the best blooms are not really blooms at all. Here is a coleus
and some sedums in a container
and best of all the continuing bloom of friendship with Gail from Clay and Limestone and the men in her life.
Tucker is not the only one who was very glad to see them. Thank you for stopping by on Bloom Day at Ledge and Gardens.
