Spring Beauties

Baptisia 'Purple Smoke' We are experiencing a rare day for June - drizzle and cool temps. But oh, things will change this weekend with 93 predicted for Sunday. I'm not looking forward to that.  We decided to take a break from the garden today because of the weather and the fact that we've been working our butts off. Our garden will be on the HPSO Study Weekend tour at the end of the month so there is much to get done. I would normally schedule tours of our garden now in early June  because I feel that it the peak time ( (and you can make individual appointments). For the Study Weekend tour, thank goodness for hydrangeas to give them something to look at! I've been filling holes and pots, Michael has been pruning and dead-heading. A few days ago, we completely redid a rock retaining wall which just about did us in.  The weather has been lovely and I do hope the heat spell is a short-lived one.  Here are some highlights in the garden now. Peony 'White Cap' Ros...

Our garden will be open through the HPSO Open Gardens Tour. The board has just relaxed the standards so no appointment is necessary.

Sunday, May 30 - 2pm - 7pm

    2. I doubt that very much (hot mess)... however since I severely sprained my ankle today shimmying down to the Salmon River off a trail and can barely walk, I'm afraid I am not going to make it.
