Just as we all expected we have gone from Spring weather to Summer temperatures in just a few days. I tilled part of the garden last weekend and it turned to hard balls. I re-tilled this past Thursday and it worked up pretty good this time. We are now ready to plant tomatoes and peppers along with some squash and cucumbers. Now is an important time for weeding in the garden. Get them while they are small. I have hoed some of the garden and plan to do some more Saturday. I will also fertilize my onions. Fertilizing onions and keeping them watered will help us grow the big nice keeping onions we will enjoy next winter.
I'm also trimming some shrubs now. Our mugo pine will get trimmed this weekend along with a globe blue spruce we have. My dwarf lilac has finished blooming so it will be trimmed soon.
We have sure enjoyed bringing Iris and Peonies in the house this past week. They make and nice display in a vase adding spring color and fragrance to a room.
I'm also anticipating my Kousa Dogwoods coming into bloom in a week or so. They look to be covered with buds so they should make a great display.
I'll let you know how things go with all of these projects.
