Well, a few weeks later and our garden is doing nicely, so Ben took some photos of Jerry showing off his flowers. First, some beautiful purple irises...
...and some red and white geraniums...
...some marigolds that are just getting started and some purple heliotrope (Ben calls this purple fluff).
We've also had a few visitors. Our gnomes are back; the red door gnome lives in the herb garden (more gnome updates later).
We also had a HUGE visitor in our bird bath, a Cooper's hawk. It was very hot that day, and we think he was cooling off.
We hope your gardens are doing great!
What a fabulous avian visitor!!!
ReplyDeleteBen first thought it was a big cat; we don't usually have such big birds in our yard.
DeleteBeautiful flowers! Glad things have warmed up for you guys.
ReplyDeleteThanks Droopy, it is nice not to have any more snow!
DeleteWhat a cool bird! Did you feed it any cookies?
ReplyDeleteCookies never seem to stay around very long; Ben says they mysteriously disappear from the cookie jar...it's not difficult to imagine how that happens.
DeleteJerry the garden looks amazing. Do you offer tours?
ReplyDeleteWe do offer tours!
DeleteOk... your garden caught up FAST! Our irises are still blooming sooo... even though we had weeks of a head start... you guys are right on schedule!
ReplyDeleteAfter the blizzard, we've had several days in the 80s, and the other day it was 100, so the plants are growing fast!
