Welcome to June

Sage plant in bloom.

 I love June. It's so full of promise. At the start of the gardening season, the summer days ahead seem endless. I wish it would stay.

We are a bit behind with the vegetables, we've got about 1/3 of the garden planted but still need to put in beans, beets, and all the seedlings we started inside. This year I'm happy to say we've bought our own tiller. I guess it's a mark of a gardener to be more excited about that than a new car or TV.

The flower gardens are kicking spring off, the irises are lovely right now and the Lady's Mantle and cranesbill geranium are providing delicate color. I could spend all day, maybe all June, wandering the garden. And weeding, of course.
