No idea

So this pretty little thing popped up a while back - thing is I have no idea what it is.  The only things that I planted that haven’t poked up yet are Coneflowers and Coreopsis.  I don’t think this looks like either so I’ll wait and see. 

Allium

The Allium is coming up nicley as are all the Hostas.

Bachelor Buttons

The Bachelor Buttons which were a transplant from my cousin Carol’s backyard in mid May have already flowered.  The flowers are rather droopy, hence my finger in the photo - oops! 

"Little Princess" Spirea

The “Little Princess” Spirea has greened up nicely.

"Autumn Joy" Sedum

The “Autumn Joy” Sedum, planted last year has grown nicely.  I look forward to its blooms this summer.

Purple Fountain grass

The Purple Fountain Grass is new this year and should get rather tall.

The Bishops Weed is quite invasive so I’ve heard and spreads underground.  It was here when we moved in 7 years ago, right now it seems contained - I’ve heard it’s hard to get rid of.

Peonies

The Peonies (no idea what kind)  have buds on them.  Hopefully they will bloom more than the 3 or 4 flowers we had last year.

I spent the day potting up some annuals my hubby picked up - a very random bunch of yellow Marigolds and orange Marigolds, red Salvia, and other random choices.  Ah well, the heart was in the right place.  The marigolds actually look striking in a lime green pot and a white pot with orange (and other colors) in a band.   I’ll have to get photos.  I also weeded the beds on the sides of the house and the rear of the yard.

Tomorrow I’m off to choose more annuals to complete my pottings.  I still have to turn over the soil in my garden area as well as ammend it, and lie out the plants to decide what goes in the ground, what goes in the pots and what might need to go in a new bed.  I was feeling a little behind not having it done and then we had a frost last night.  It was nice to be able to move the plants in the garage for safe keeping.

I’ve got my work cut out for me tomorrow and the next couple of days but then it will be just maintaining.  I got all my housework done this weekend so that can coast while I garden.  I love being outside and getting things in the ground!
