The Garden in May

Well the garden continues to delight and amaze me. It is a riot of colour these days.

Here is my cat hunting in the ferns

The Bachelors Buttons are everywhere, they seem to have self- seeded themselves all over the yard.

My Garden in the Spring - April

I love bleeding hearts, one of my favorite garden plants

I'm not sure what this is, but it was one of the first things to bloom in our garden

This was impressive in full bloom

 Raspberry canes all along the garage wall. They migrated over from the neighbors garden.

A very pregnant looking peony bud about to flower

I'm not sure what this is called but in 2 years it has taken over half of the balcony. It can grow about a foot a day and has thousands of these pretty purple flowers
