My Garden: It’s May!

The calendar says it’s May but it sure doesn’t feel like it! It’s not usual to have a long cool spring and then jump right into summer here in Vermont. I have to remember that! However after a long cold winter I am really looking forward to getting outside without a jacket on! My forsythia is struggling to bloom, the flowers actually look like they are shivering!

The rhubarb is coming along; can you tell that I have two different varieties growing?

The grass is turning green and after all the rain we’ve had I’m not surprised!

The day lilies and iris are popping up everywhere. My garden has an abundance of spring flowers; I can’t wait until they all start blooming.

The early daffodils are just starting to bloom.

The garlic is doing well.

There are even signs of life in the herb garden.

Hopefully I’ll be able to actually start planting in the vegetable garden soon! I just need to be home! Hopefully no more trips out of town! Although I do enjoy the alternate scenery!
