Hi Beth....You have so many wonderful blooms already!! I see in one of the pictures that you have wild violets in your garden just like I do. I am trying so hard to get rid of these things as right now I have literally thousands of them coming up. I'm going to try a concoction of baby shampoo and gin (out of a book) and see what happens. My first iris looks just like your first iris! It's so exciting to start seeing all these blooms!!
ReplyDeleteI try not to get too mad about the violets - I have dug some and moved them and just try to use them like an edging in a couple of places. But thousands? um, maybe your concoction will work - I've also read to use vinegar with a couple of drops of detergent (to get it to adhere to leaves). Love seeing everybody's spring pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the Flowering Almond! I bought one last year that was just a sprig. It has one bloom now. Oh, I'm hoping it will be as beautiful as years in a few years.
Happy Gardening!
