COOL, CALM APRIL

camellia 'april dawn' was frost burned this spring

but still put on quite a show...


magnolia 'leonard messel' had its most floriferous year...

i don't take photos of it because the neighbor's house behind it is the wrong blue...

various daffs from the garden...

magnolia 'ruby' on the left, still showing storm damage from 2  years ago, cherry on the right...

ruby has spectacular large flowers...

the potager... gearing up... camellia on the left, dwarf peach on the far left... i'm about to move the dwarf alberta spruces into the pots (the larger spruces went to good families...) i'm going to put tomatoes in the center this year.

dwarf peach...

survivor! a lone tulip has escaped the hungry deer...

colton before his spring shearing...

colton & luna after colton's shearing...
