June Flowers
















There are actually a few flowers that are blooming in this cold never ending spring. The Fuschia love it of course and the mt laurel as well. The petunias are in a pot on the porch. A lot of the annuals I planted in a burst of optomism had dampened off. About to give up on cucumbers, I have planted them twice, each time they sprout and look around and fall over dead from shock.

Veggies

I had radishes from the garden for lunch today, and there is lettuce and spinach nearly ready to eat. I planted back in early April when we were having warm weather, and the plants really took off. The ground is nearly warm enough under the black plastic to put out tomatoes. I planted them from seed this year, time will tell if they are better or worse than those from the nursery.

Trip to NYC

The photos below of Wave Hill were taken in late April while I was in NYC visiting Joe.

Wave Hill Garden











The copper beech tree is so huge it would cover my whole lot. The photo doesn't do justice to how magnificant this tree is.



































































Wave Hill is a spectacular garden in Riverside the Bronx overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades. It was built in 1843 as a country home and in 1903 was purchased by the Perkins-Freeman family. The property was donated to the city of New York in 1960 and is maintained as a public garden.
