Time always seems to pass me by! Here are some photos of developments in our garden. The second half of May we focused on mulching, and pulling up weeds. We planted a couple of plants but decided to focus on maintenance. We also (with my parents help) got an irrigation system installed! That way we can be more efficient in terms of water usage and avoid wasting water. Please see some photos below.

1. Allium in bloom. They make for great dried flowers, too!
2. Lilacs! We bought this three season lilac bush last year. Happy to see it bloom!
3. Dogwood tree in bloom. I didn’t know that it flowered so this was a happy surprise.
4. Hydrangea getting ready to bloom.
5. Weigela in bloom!
6. Not sure what this is, but it’s pretty!
7. Ninebark beginning to bloom!
8. Our clover lawn is starting to come in.
9. Sage
10. Blue flag iris
11. Jackman clematis and creeping thyme
12. Wild strawberries turning into fruit!

That’s my update for some of the things we have in bloom at this time of year. Will update again as soon as possible.
