June Garden Tour

I am sharing a tour of my Spring flower garden.

We have had a lot of rain here in Gaspé lately,
along with cooler temperatures.

Most photos taken under cloudy conditions.

Our summers are short, with a
hardiness grow zone of 5a

We have to be grateful and appreciate
 the beauty God has given us.

~Bleeding Hearts~

I finally get them to grow for me.

Hostas emerging to start another year~

~tulips amongst forget-me-nots~

 Forget~Me~Nots wander throughout the garden
Their flowers lasting about a month in Spring.
They reseed themselves.

Pink, White and Blue Forget-Me-Nots....

~Narcissus~

~Apple tree blossoms~

 ~Beachwood-from the beach nearby~

The rose bushes are starting to get their leaves.

Below, beyond the birdbath is

 my "Jungle". beyond weeding,
I have planted many types 

of trees here over the years.
Beside the birdbath is a Chestnut tree.

The path in the Jungle
On the right is a Hazelnut Bush.

 Forget-Me-Nots here also.
When they are finished

 flowering, they go to seed,
 I will cut the grass
 and spread their seeds elsewhere.

 ~Ferns, gracefully unfurling~

More Ferns

~The Front Garden~

the Plum tree is a late bloomer.

In this garden I have a

 miniature hostas collection

 and hens'n'chickens. 

(These hostas are later coming out)

~The Strawberry Patch ~ 
It's doing well with all the rain we've had.

At the back - the trees 

got their leaves last week
A quiet spot

In the Greenhouse:

 I planted Zinnias in my large terracotta pots

 instead of Nasturtiuns this yr. 

(except the lst. pot in front on the right)

I found, 5 different types of Zinnias.
I'm anxious to see them in flower.

“In the garden 
I tend to drop my thoughts here and there. 
To the flowers I whisper the secrets I keep 
and the hopes I breathe.
I know they are there to eavesdrop 
for the angels.” 
~Dodinsky~

Thanks for your visit.
