I haven't had much time to work in the backyard this past week. Wednesday I had a curling banquet that turned out to be an allnighter. Thursday I had to drive to Rochester for a union convention. Friday and Saturday were both eaten up by the convention. And today Mother Nature decided that we needed rain. In any case I was able to step out for a bit and grab some photos. As you can see I'll have a bumper crop of Dandelions again this year.

The Memorial garden is coming in nicely and I can start picking Rhubarb any time now.

Tulip, Hosta, Iris and Peonies

The plants along the garage are looking great, at least the ones on the West side of the garage. The North side does not looks so good. It gets too much shade. I think I'll need to do something else with that area soon.

The Lilacs are just starting to bloom, the backyard will be smelling good soon!

Once again the Forget-me-nots are coming in strong!

Forget-me-nots

More Lilacs, these are the ones that run along the East side of my property. They are super old and each year I cut them back with hopes that they will come in thicker.
