It is June 17-2015 and I am just about finished clearing weeds out of my garden beds that were a result of our 20 inches of rain in the month of May. We are having a soft rain today and you can see my Best, Best Garden Helper, Chewy, staying out in the rain to assist me. He takes his job of staying out in the garden with me while I am working very seriously. "Shelties are Good Helpers".
4-24-15. The roses are really starting to bloom and they have not been trimmed yet for Spring. Dora is checking on the gathered bucket of Gertrude Jekyll, Zephirine Droughn, and Queen of Sweden roses.
The following are the first Iris and Rose blooms of the Spring. April 19, 2015. I am hoping for many more rose blooms.


It is the middle of the month of April 2015 and the seedlings are growing. We have had some nice gentle rains and I need to get my dill, parsley, lettuces, cabbage, celosia, marigold, and zinnias direct seeded very soon.
