It's been awhile since I've posted - blog fatigue, tired of being on the computer all day, life.

This year it was time to really devote to tending to the gardens at my house.  I haven't mulched in a couple of years and it really showed.  I had 60 bags of mulch delivered and used 55 of them - weeded, pruned, thinned.  The gardens now look very pretty. I've bought a few new plants to fill in.

Here is what is currently in bloom

Clematis - I love this one - big white flowers

Dianthus - Pinks

Flowers on the Smoke Bush. This is the first year it has flowered

Chives

Calamint

Sedum

Baptisia - False Indigo

Iris
