April & May 2020 What's Growing In Our Gardens

Please send me some pictures and I'll add them to our blog. If you want to include a short message, I can add that to keep in touch. Most recent added to top. 

A few web sites are below but before you visit one of these, call to see if they are open and what their hours are. Pennsylvania's garden related shops are not all open, gray areas exist in the regulations for isolation.

Blue Sapphire Dwarf Irises in my garden were so pretty.  I bought them years ago from Larry Grundler at Summerhill Farm.

Red bud Clif & I planted too close to the house but this year it is at its best.
 Solomon's Seal from Peggy which does very well for me.

The deer certainly do avoid daffodils!



White with yellow primroses always seems more cold hardy for me.


Trailing phlox from our plant sale last year or two years ago.

Even dandelions are pretty now.
