Mike C's Blog (21) April Showers bring May Flowers

You've been very busy, Mike and everything is looking good. I love the view through the arch. Look forward to seeing the later photos.

Yes it is looking wonderful, you are going to have a mass of colour there.

Looking good, Mike.
Lovely gardens and yes, I reckon you're in for a real treat with that lot. :o)

I love it all. Beautiful borders MikeC.

Nice to see you MikeC, have not seen you on here in a while

It's nice to see the place coming back into such fresh new growth now. Thanks for puting these photos here. I often miss lots on the other page.

Looks great Mike.

April showers brings May showers. Although, your in a different zone it seems we have the same growing patterns. (it must get colder sooner then the Jersey Shore)

Also, looking at your house it could be my neighbors house or down the street. I guess they are older homes built individually vs. a development. Not a big difference in the style of homes.

The yard looks great.....if it would only stop raining, eh?

Are some of these plants the ones you over wintered in your cellar Mike ? Gosh it does seem as if its been a long winter for you .. must be pleased to see the garden looking like this .

Thank you all for the great comments. Bonkersbon... The plants in the front garden are either new last summer or they are divisions from my plants in the back garden that I did a few weeks ago. The only plants that winter in my basement are the epiphyllum orchid cactus. Everything else amazingly survives the winters.

We appreciate the perennials in North-Eastern gardens don't we?....Must say...your daylilies look like they are going to be fantastic and your trellises are already covered and looking full...WOW...Can't wait to see what June brings!!
