Bill's Gardens in July!!

 Finally with the sun and this ample rainfall our gardens are coming into their own!!



Garden spirit keeps an eye on this sweet bed! 

My favorite pot!

 



Bleeding Heart and Hosta--each having a record year!

 

 

 

 

 

 

It has been a very strange year, to say the least; large established trees and shrubs seemed to have more problems coming out of winter than perennials.  Indeed, most of the perennials in my yard (i.e. hosta, bleeding hearts, etc.) are performing the best I’ve seen in years. 

Gorgeous yellow Day Lilies and a spectacular Clematis 

 

 

I have been taking advantage of all the recent rain (free water!) by replacing the plants I lost over the winter. Through this harsh winter, Mother Nature has opened up space and has allowed me to revamp some of my beds –replacing dead plant material with new plants that I’ve been wanting to try or replanting some of my favorites.  

Kiwi in full swing!!

 

When customers come into the nursery and we begin discussing plants—of course we love to recommend our favorites!  And, I have most of my favorite plants in my garden at home.  My regular customers and I have standing joke: Bill—if you love it…it must be in your garden. 

 

 

So, this month I’m attaching some pictures of a few of my “favorites” …from my garden that I’m always telling people about…the tri-colored beech, kiwi vine etc.

Lovely Lily of the Valley

 

 

 

We will be adding more next month to show people what a mature specimen may look like.  Stay tuned.



Sedum & colorful Angelina really "pop" on this old stone wall.

REMEMBER: With the combination of warm sunny days and the rain it has been a great season to plant, just remember when the warm summer days get here—water weekly, deeply for all newly planted trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals.
