I love the month of June in Vermont; the mountains are just bursting with green!
There is new growth wherever you look. Remember that garden I created two years ago? Look how nicely it has filled in.
The bleeding hearts are in full bloom.
The phlox is spilling over the stone wall.
My lilac is a late blooming variety so the buds are still tightly closed.
The irises are just starting to bloom. This variety was a transplant from my husband’s grandmother’s garden.
In the vegetable garden we have been transitioning to raised beds. I like being able to sit on one while weeding in another! The beds are in place and almost all planted. We’ve made some progress since this photo was taken.
I’ve been picking rhubarb like crazy and trying to keep ahead of cutting back the blossoms!
My strawberry patch is full of flowers and if you look closely you can even see a tiny berry forming.
The African Daisies look nice against the red chicken coop.
I can’t complain it’s been a wonderful spring. We’ve even had lots of birds at the feeders including a beautiful cardinal.
Our favorite is the Indigo Bunting; I just love his iridescent blue!
How are things looking where you are?
