This Week in the Garden

 

After a very chilly Mother's Day, it's been a beautiful warm and sunny week. The garden is thriving in this warmer weather.

This is a great year for the pretty pink and purple columbine. The goldfinches like to eat the seeds from the dried flower pods and they must have scattered the seeds all over the yard. Columbines are blooming everywhere! And the hostas and ferns fill the shady areas with their lush, multi-textured blue and green leaves.
