The Wet, Wet Garden
After worrying about the rain deficit (we were below normal for April), Mother Nature generously rewarded us with an abundance of rain this past week. I am not going to complain although I do wish it would skip my off-days. Today (Saturday) is an especially wet day. I ventured out briefly and took a few shots. The plants grow so fast from the rain.

Gorgeous pics! Love the white wisteria! :O)
ReplyDeleteAll just beautiful! !!! Love the Chinese snowball.
ReplyDeleteI don't notice any weeds, everything looks lovely! We got a freeze last night, and some of my new hosta leaves now look like frozen lettuce. :( Your Chinese snowball is stunning. My CS's blooms were turning white, but the pounding rains and then the freeze pushed the branches to the ground. I hope it will recover.
ReplyDeleteI'm with CC -- it's easy to overlook the weeds and just focus on the beautiful bushes that take center stage!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying some viburnums up here - Alleghany, Prunifolium and Prague. It's my first year with all of them. Definitely becoming a favorite plant genus!
PS - Your Kerria looks great. I've been underwhelmed when I saw one in person. But yours looks really good.
Your garden is stunning as ever! They are not weeds at all but native plants allowed to grow to attract beneficial insects. April is a magic month in our gardens!
