I feel like I've been absent from Dave's for a while - sorry! I've been doing a lot of sewing. (I'm starting a small charitable business where I design/sew handbags, and give 1/2 the profits to a local shelter for abused women and their children). So, I haven't had much time for gardening.

Anyway, I added a few things to my cottage garden this year. I added some yellow yarrow, sempervivums, dianthus and some small sedums to the front of the garden. I've also ordered some butter and cream siberian irises & coreopsis moonlight to add some more yellow to my mostly blue/pink/purple garden. It's now almost completely perennial. The only annuals I have this year are those white begonias under the tree. I plan to add more pics to this thread as different stuff starts to bloom.

Blooming now are:
lupines,
columbine,
allium,
dianthus
yarrow (but these might be blooming earlier than normal b/c they are new from the nursery)

It feels good to be digging in the dirt again!
