Yardening, 2010 Edition, Volume 1


















Today will be the first real planting day of the season.  Above and below, pictures of the lilac just outside the back door.  This is the first year in the five at Hawks Road that it has really produced masses of blooms (it looked so bad when we first arrived in '05 that we nearly cut the thing down).  Don't know if I should take credit for it or not, but I'm pleased with it this year.  And the scent!


















Later today:  tomatoes and peppers and other edibles go in the ground; forsythia, creeping phlox, knockout roses and azaleas to follow in various key locations.

Now, if only I could get over the incredibly bad allergic reaction I've been having to all this pollen.  Someone get this man some Nasonex!
