    Tulip Festival

    Went to the Skagit Valley Tulip festival, field after field of tulips! Some daffodils, too, but they were mostly finished and the iris have not started yet. Of course, I ordered a bunch of bulbs for next year. These bouquets will be mine!

    Bloom Time Overlap

    I just love it when blooming seasons overlap! My helleborus and winter iris have not finished blooming. My daffodils, violets, red current, and some tulips are now in bloom.

    Hanging Planters

    Patio garden
    There was sunshine today, although it was a bit chilly, so I got all my hanging planters cleaned, filled, and re-hung. Fuchsia and Ivy Geranium for the hummingbirds, sweet peas for me, seven pots altogether. Now it’s time to curl up with a book.

    Rain! Rain! Rain!

    We finally had some rain last night! I’m feeling refreshed, I’m sure my gardens must feel the same. We must have set some sort of record for days without rain here in the Pacific Northwest. Going out now to get my feet wet in the grass!

    Help with pumpkins

    Pumpkin 'Once in a Blue Moon' Showing True Leaves
    I bought a package of blue pumpkin seeds to send to my nephews as a fun thing to grow. I snitched a few so I could have fun, too! But now that they’ve sprouted, I don’t have a clue what to do! I’m a flower gardener. Any advice appreciated.
