I have to apologize for my lack of posting during the last few weeks, I’ve been busy. But now on to what’s happening in the garden……
I have three patches of peas growing. Two are under wooden trellises and the third is by the fence. I didn’t think they’d get enough sun by the fence so I wasn’t expecting many to grow. Boy was I surprised though when the ones by the fence grew the best! The package the seeds came in said they need full sun, but maybe they don’t. Anyways I had to jerry rig something for them to grow up so I made a thing for them out of twine. I’ll get a photo of it in the next few days to share.
The Peonies are finally in full bloom, well, at least one of the Peony plants is. They’re so beautiful this year, and big. I’ll have a get a photo of those too.

For the last week or so it seems like it’s been raining almost non stop. It’s supposedly supposed to stop by tomorrow but I’m not sure if I trust the forecast. It’s kind of strange to see things so green and yet so gloomy and sunless too.
The Peonies still haven’t opened yet. If I thought they looked like they were going to burst before I was wrong, they’re huge now.
I’ve officially lost two of the morning glories. I’ll have to plant seeds to replace them once the rain stops. My Red Robin tomato plant that I bought at Seedy Saturday is slowly dying. It’s so sad because I had two tomatoes and 5 or 6 smaller ones coming along.
I’ll post some more pictures too once the rain stops.

We’ve had some rain the last few days, mainly showers and overnight so the plants are happy, as is the rain barrel. Since I’ve gotten it it hasn’t been more than 3/4 empty.
The flowers on the chives are coming out. The purple looks ss pretty against the green. The peonies has blooms already. And that means that the ants are all over them. I hope they bloom soon. The Morning Glories that I planted last week have been looking pretty happy. That is for two. One has died and the other one’s leaves are all shriveled up, and I think it’s just a matter of time for him. I have more Morning Glory seeds though so I’ll replace those two.
I planted a few radish seedlings a couple days ago. They don’t look so great though. I think I’ll plant a row or twp of radishes and carrots. The radishes will be ready before the carrots will so once the radishes are harvested the carrots will have more room.
I also planted two hanging baskets with petunias. I forget the variety, but they’re supposed to trail over the side of the basket and look really pretty.
On the last trip to the garden centre I got cushions for the two loungers in the backyard. They’re SO much more comfortable with the cushions than without. I know I’ll be spending more time sitting in them this year.
