Lisa spent the week in LA and took the red-eye home last night. While I was waiting for her, I scooped as much crud as I could out of the pond, and turned the pump back on. We lost all our fish for the second year in a row. We told the landscaper we wanted

We finally got out there to pull the glads and the dahlias. We’ve had four or five hard frosts already this year. (Isn’t this early for that? It feels very early.) So we went out after work tonight and ended up working a bit in the dark, but that’s okay. The glads are really reproducing

I am such a sucker for gardenporn email. Dutch Gardens sent me a blurb on an oriental poppy mixture that I totally could not resist. Not only did I order it, but I ordered two collections, and they all got here today. But they’ll be so pretty! They are plants, and look to be in really good shape. I need to get them in ASAP, though. It’s been freezing every night lately. There was a really hard freeze last night. The ground stayed ice covered deep into the morning this morning.

The garden is slowly transitioning from all blues and purples to the reds and oranges that signal that summer is coming. Most notably, my poppy bloomed, for the first time ever. In my old garden, I had an entire bed of poppies, right near the front, very full and beautiful. In particular, we’d gotten a

Welcome to High Summer! I was a picture-taking fool today, but I can’t help it. The garden is absolutely beautiful right now. Such a change, suddenly. There are tons of colors all over the place, and everything, it seems, is in bloom. My window boxes in particular are all very full, draping down nicely.

The fish are getting quite brave. We seem to have around 12-14 of them. It’s hard to count the little buggers. But they now come to the surface when we feed them, and if we just go to look at them, they think we’re going to feed them, so they all rush over to

The month of May is flying by, and we are full of may flies as well. I am so bug bitten after spending the day out there yesterday, even in the bug suit, darnit. Have many bites on my fingers, which are all swollen up now. We saw some critters in the pond for the
