Hello Everyone
Jun 16, 2009 | 10:25 AM PST

It is raining today so no gardening. Have time to catchup on all my wifely duties.

 We had a good time In Billings caught a few catfish. Son Stace caught the biggest one

We had a good time and the weather was awesome. Good weather is a rarity around here.

Rose's haven't started to bloom yet but the Poppy's are just opening. 

 

This is the best my honeysuckel has ever looked

I need to do some serious prunning

 

That darn rain flatten some of my Dame's  Rockets. No one needs to go to Vegas to gamble, all tthey have to do is plant a garden. There is a 50 percent chance it won't make it to the end of the growing season .

 Happy Planting Kerryh1

In between snow flake , rain and 35 degree weather, good grief.

 The Dames Rockets and Wall Fowers in my new project are beautiful. Rasberrys are slow, it is to cold at night.

 

Had to empty my pond and clean it out I had just a alge problem I could not get a head of it. So while I was knee deep in yuck I trsanplanted all the water lillys and rearrange the rocks . Looks good. Empty but good. I also added a chemical that is suspose to keep  the alge in check.

 No pears this year and I'm  not to sure of the apples. I have so many dead branches on my street tree's... I think that 8 below last June , the effects are now just showing up.There is dead trees all over town. Even my dog wood is funky looking The Burning bushes out front are slow to leaf out, the one in the back is awesome. Weird happenings this spring.

 Oh well going to Billings this weekend and go Cat fishing with the kids. My son-in -law has been catching big ones some where on the Yellowstone River. I told him he had better left me some.

 

We had been planning on going camping but the weather is so wacked and I am to old to sleep in a wet tent, and freeze while I wait for the coffee to cook.

Happy Planting  Kerryh
