One month ago… rose bushes coming out of winter, serviceberry trees and chanticleer pear tree in bloom.

A friend helped us with a trouble spot by transplanting some hostas.

Looks like this now…

And what is up with our phlox? One side is great, while the other side is practically dead. I’ve been told that it has to do with water. The full bunch is sort of landlocked and has tons of water. Not so good for the serviceberry, but it’s acclimated, I think.

And, from the backyard, a flower from our containers…

…and a garden project. Amazing what a little patina finish can do on a terra cotta pot. I would write more about the backyard, except that the rabbits have eaten a bunch of the hostas. It looks quite sad.
