I'm glad your garden is doing so well. Mine is just the opposite. We had cold temperatures and rain and overcast skies for most of April. In May we had a week of hot temperatures--too hot for the greenhouse. Then it went to rain in deluges and only the last week it has become seasonable but still cool nights with a risk of frost. My garden is 2 weeks behind. Last year was a good growing year for us even with the lack of rain in July. My mulched plants did very well because the mulch held in the moisture. So I guess it makes a difference where you are gardening. What is a good year for one may not be for another. Enjoy your gardening weather and think of others not so fortunate

Ken 3rd year back fairly normal. Mid April for things to stir here and by mid May transformation all but in. Deep moisture is good. In fact I am still transplanting since its so cool and for the most part cultivars are still dormant. Snow to move in about mid morning. Dax...The Sham obtusa, I called it, was replaced with Cedrus libani var.atlantica 'Horstmann'. I tried Sham twice and died both times. This conifer in B&B plus 6 ft. in height will not support itself ,that big, with 90% of its root base gone. !-2 ft. potted versions will survive.but I am not going back there. Dave

I noticed that my Raspberry Pixies seem to be a darker, more browned color this year. None of them have been moved to new locations, so I have to assume it's the weather. Whatever it is, I wish it would continue, as I like the color this year much more than the usual color. Totally Confused

Here is what it looked like in 2012. The other possibility is the roundup i used to kill the weeds around it the fall before.

I admired this last year when you put it in and posted your original picture, great to see the update. It must be stunning from the road. Great job with the design and rose care, it looks beautiful.

Sara, I well remember the first picture and can't believe it's been that long. The roses look fantastic, and very happy. Of course we'll expect at least yearly updates!

Wow. So very pretty. Roses really do grow fast. It isn't exactly instant gratification but pretty darn close. I love looking back at pictures and seeing how much various ones have grown since I started. Congrats on a lovely bed.
