May frosts and blooming irises

It's hard to believe it is almost the 1st of June. Heavy frosts the past few nights have sent us scurrying out to cover the tender young tomato and pepper plants. We are working on additional plantings for the CSAs as weather permits. We have already planted many, many seeds and they are just now emerging. Thankfully the frost has not effected them.

Things seem to be finally waking up here in Sugarcreek. The weather they say is supposed to be beautiful from here on out. Last night we spied a somewhat lost oppossum in the shed, and this morning we saw a large skunk wandering around near the pond.

The irises and lupines are just now blooming filling the air with their sweet fragrance. Soon the lilies, peonies and roses will follow.Over the past few years we have been cultivating some older as well as newer varieties of many different perennials. We will be offering some new additions on our listing this fall.

 For now,  I"ll  leave you with a few photos of the spring garden.
