In full bloom!



I had some gorgeous iris bloom that have not bloomed in a couple of years. My roses have bloomed. The basil in my herb garden bloomed. There are Asiatic lilies and gladiolus coming up all over the flower garden, and the kitty memorial garden has really filled out and is blooming beautifully.



My broccoli, brussel sprouts, cucumbers, okra, squash, and zucchini are all getting big. The strawberries are doing well and I think I only lost a couple of plants but I am not pulling them up yet, because they may just be slower to put out foliage than the others.

My corn is about 4 inches high so I am finally planting it this weekend weather permitting (it is supposed to rain so we'll see what happens). The eggplant is still too small to put in the ground, I am afraid if I did it now it would not make it because they are so delicate at this point, so I am going to give them another week or two to grow.

My pink girl tomato plant has several blooms. I am so excited, I can't wait for tomatoes to start coming in! Also my blueberry bushes have lost all of their blooms and replaced them with actual blueberries!





My kids planted butter beans at school and so I need to make room in the garden to plant them as well. Don't know how much we'll get from the 2-3 plants, but I think it is sweet that the kids want their bean plants in the garden!
My yard is also in full bloom, mostly clover...because of work and weather it's been almost 2 weeks since it has been cut, but my husband will be getting to that tonight or this weekend if the rain holds off. I like the clover flowers though, they are pretty. Reminds me of the days in my childhood sitting amongst the clover making clover chains and crowns and jewelry from the flowers, and every so often running into a lucky four leaf clover.
