After being spoiled with a week of beautiful weather in late April and early May, we've been poured on for 7 days in a row. Finally, yesterday, we bagan planting in the gardens, putting lots of color in the Butterfly Garden, and a few things into the Moonlight Garden. During the rainy days, we've been diggin and dividing perennials, so you'll find lots of new things in the sales areas. I've also been taking lots of cuttings, since the stems are filled with moisture, and I finally had some room on the greenhouse! Of course, six days of overcast, fully moisturized air is causing some mold problems, too. Just one challenge after another. But, the columbines are gorgeous, the Dames Rocket is fragrant,and many other perennials are lovely, so I can't complain. However, my new honeybees are feeling housebound with rain so often, and buzzing about all the pollen being washed away uncollected. It's nice to know I have company in my grumbling about the weather!
