Scabiosa "Butterfly Blue"


Columbine "McKana"


Columbine "Winky Blue and White"


Saxifraga "Highland Red"




"Angelique" tulip



Well, spring has finally arrived in the Greenwich garden! The tulips are looking lovely and all but one of the perennials have survived the winter. I've added some new plants this spring:Columbine "Winky Blue", Scabiosa "Butterfly Blue",and Saxifraga "Highland Red". Every trip to Home Depot results in some new additions to the garden! I just can't resist all the beautiful temptations. Vegetables are planted,and the herb garden is doing very well. I can't wait to pick and eat those first tomatoes! YUM!!!

That damned squirrel is back!


The sign was clearly posted!


Lovely snapdragons are added to the front bed.


The new pink verbena,"Limerock Dream", and "Moonbeam" coreopsis.

Everything is growing fast here in the Greenwich garden! The new rock garden is working out very well, and all the flowers planted in it seem to be happy. However...the school system has failed the local rodent population...The sign was clearly posted and still they think it's OK to pig out here!!! I may have to resort to more drastic measures! Squirrels BEWARE!!!

Recently I have added some new plants in the front garden beds. Now that the greens of the spring bulbs have died back, I've added some Snapdragons in their place! No easy task considering that you have to dig around the sleeping bulbs. In the new bed I've added some pink Verbena and some new types of Coreopsis. The salmon colored one is "Limerock Dream" and the tiny flowered yellow one is "Moonbeam". I love their delicate little flowers! The Nasturtiums on the deck have started to bloom in shades of yellow, red, and orange. The newly constructed rock garden on the ledge is finished and planted with red Verbena and pink Impatiens. Normally I wouldn't have put pink and red together, but they really seem to complement each other very nicely! The new bed along the neighbors garage is finished. What a digging task that was. Every time I put the shovel in the ground I'd hit a rock! Not always a little rock but a LARGE rock! Some were too large for me to lift! The ones that I could lift became the wall of the rock garden. Today is the first day all week that it's not raining. I'll be out there tonight weeding and planting in the moonlight! New photos will be posted soon. Be sure to check them out!
