Garden Update

Not too much gardening getting done. I'm allergic to tree pollen, so that is keeping me down. But my garden is pushing its growth. The peonies are about a foot tall now. They seem to like the new garden bed. The hostas are all happily coming up. The iris seem to be doing well. They are putting up new leaves.

The periwinkle is sprouting happily. I've decided not to fight it in the iris. I still would rather have nasturtium shading/hiding the iris growth, but I'll let them duke it out. Right now the little blue flowers are quite cheerful.

The hydrangea is slowly leafing out. And the tulips beneath it still haven't put up buds, but the leaves look good. On the indoor front, the hibiscus bloomed again last Thursday.
