It's raining again today, but my garden loves it and all the seeds I planted outside are doing so well with all this rain. Poor roses and peonies are bedraggled though. It has been a very long cool spring.
I planted more vegetable seeds in various pots and put them in my little plastic greenhouse. Detroit Red beetroot, various lettuce, zucchini and squash.
A neighbour gave me the old teapot, he said his wife was going to throw it out, but he thought of me, and kindly drilled a hole in the bottom for me, so now I need to plant something in it. It seems he has all the drill bits to drill through china, now I know where to go.
Some things that have bloomed during the month of may. Above is the nearest I ever come to bluebells, I do miss the bluebell woods in the UK.
A small gift from a friend which I planted last year, an azalea.
Another gift from a friend, but it has had a hard time getting going, Jack In The Pulpit.

Your flowers are beautiful. Hope your seeds do well. Yes we're having a cold,wet spring so it's slowing the plants down. My roses are nowhere near flowering yet. Plenty of columbines or granny's bonnets as I call them.
