Friday's In the Garden....Rain Delay

Hi Everyone....It is late on Friday...but it's still Friday. This was a wet week in New Jersey. It's hard to complain, we need it!


It is a great time...Spring is in full bloom. If you want to add some color to your garden, you need to go to the garden center at the time you want the plant to be in bloom....and then, buy what is blooming. Here are a few plants that look fantastic now

White Irises


Golden Barberry

Dwarf Blue Spruce against Purple Barberry


Bearded Iris

Remember the Lambs Ear I wrote about here


It didn't take long for it to fill out. Next week, I will be working on my shade garden...


If you look closer, you can see that it needs a good weeding. These tall weeds need to be pulled, and the newspaper/mulch method won't work on them. It could also benefit from some rearranging.


Lastly, my friend stopped by and gave me this


Thanks Whit! Have you started working outside?

Some of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen were coordinated by by women with a design background. Designers have a much better eye for color first!
