I I was waiting for these beauties to ramp up! Namely a variegated blue iris started from bulb and two Canterbury Bells which I started from seed in the Sping of 07'. They did not bloom last year but this year I'm happy to report that are more than making up for it. Other pictures include Italian Purple Artichoke plants started from seed, sweet pea plants climbing a bamboo trellis, a grape vine and giant sunflower vying for space. I forget the name of the pink flowers pictured but I simply scattered the seeds in this bed and so far they've come back each year. I don't have much else to show or tell. The back vegetable bed is doing fantastic as are all of the new fruit and berry bushes I planted. May is a busy month but June is down right crazy so I'm trying to enjoy my sanity while it lasts.
