So I've decided to start a gardening blog. It seems I have several gardening tricks that are successful enough that friends and family are asking for them - and a blog seemed like a good way to share that information. We'll see how it goes.

Right now things are huge and a little out of control in the garden, but I'll get to that a little later.
As usual, our spring/summer lurches along with some cold wet days and some cool cloudy dry days...followed by a warm sunny day that causes everything to grow frantically. I find this pattern erratic and the effects hard to predict, but the plants seem to love it.

| Tibetan Blue Poppy |
Though our few sun loving plants are slow growing this year, our shade loving Tibetan Blue Poppies (Meconopsis betonicifolia) are up and flowering. They get enough morning sun to make them happy, while protecting them from the 'real' sunshine during the day - when we get a full day of sunshine, that is.
Our Himalayan Blue Poppies (Meconopsis 'Lingholm') are not old enough to flower yet, so we wait and watch as they grow - maybe next year.
