Mon jardin 2009

[Sheriff Roland]

Look what's finally showing up for another year. The lilacs.

They're very scented but oh so high. The flowers are at the 7 to 8 foot high level now.

Kelda, I have posted the receipe for rhubarb cake before. I'll try & dig it up again.

That would be lovely! Thanks Roland.

I wish I ahd both your green fingers and patience in the garden.

[Sheriff Roland]

I've looked - can't seem to find it - on my computer or using the search engine of BetterMost. But I'm sure I've got it written down somewhere. ...

Now back to mon jardin ...

The seathrift is starting to show as well.

Sorry for the quality. Flowers are about the size of a small fingernail.

[Kelda]

oh well never mind - I'll doa  wee google for it!

I do love these double buttercups

[Sheriff Roland]

Last summer Bryan added a new variety if lilac to the garden. They're meant to stay short and they are suppose to bloom (and be scentful) all summer long. They didn't bloom last year - but now ...

[Sheriff Roland]

These purple iris are of medium height. I've got them growing in at least 3 areas and in about 10 pots. Bryan is asking me to consolidate them all in one area. - well two - one in the back & another in the flower beds of the front.

This is the first back yard picture (of these iris) - right behind the garage. (from 3 days ago)

[Sheriff Roland]

And they're also along the fence at the back end of the back yard. (from 2 days ago)

[Sheriff Roland]

And soon the large Iris will be blooming - prob'ly the light blue ones (though there might be some yellow ones in there too)

Buds sure are promissing ... (front yard, second row nearest the sidewalk - view looking south)
