Jackmanii Clematis. Loaded with deep purple blooms, taller than it's ever been. It loved the abundance of Spring rain!

'Big Ben' Peony bush. That sad 'stick' to the right is what's left of my Korean Spice Bush after a year of puppies. :( She seems to WANT to live, though, so there's that.

Salad Garden. Lettuces, Chard, Herbs, Calendula (not in bloom, yet.)

Spent Tulip bulbs on either side, Garlic down the middle. It, too, loved all the rain we've had.

Snap Peas are starting to pod. I added a cucumber plant at each corner of this structure; they'll take over when the peas are spent. I will train each corner into an 'X' formation on each side. Plenty of room to grow long, straight cukes! 'Sweeter Yet' is the variety.

Silly Scarecrow from Mom. He's on a swivel and turns in the breeze. When the wind is from the East, it's like he's dissin' me!

Things are coming along! Can't wait to see what I can do with my new greenhouse going into the fall. Early June, on a sunny day, it's well over 100 degrees in there; useless right now, unless I want to grow cactus!

Lovely lettuces with some volunteer Marigolds in there.

My Broccoli did NOT like that shot of hot weather we had - not sure if they'll even head now, at this point. We will see. I planted 12 heads, total.

Very nice pictures. I’ve got a few and hope to get some posted soon. With your greenhouse so hot couldn’t you dry herbs in it??
