The Memorial Day holiday weekend is in full swing with perfect weather here in the Northeast and I wanted to share some photos taken in the yard and neighborhood over the last couple of days. With the warmth and abundant sunshine, there are signs of life everywhere!
Every day this weekend has been spent outdoors! On Saturday I added some “Golden” oregano and “Berggarten” sage to the herb garden. Planted in its pot to keep it in bounds, some variegated pineapple mint joined them and should make an interesting addition to summer beverages. Yesterday, I planted six tomatoes (including my favorite “Sun Gold”) and moved the Genovese basil outside to harden off for a few days before going into the vegetable garden as tomato companions. Today, I will continue working amongst my new plants and old favorites. Whatever you’re doing this weekend, I wish you all a Happy Memorial Day!

Nancy, your photos are lovely. Don’t know where you are, but we are in WV about 2 hrs. south of Pittsburgh. You are about 2-3 weeks behind us. Our irises are about finished as well as the rhododendrons. We have high temps on the way for this week. I love your shade garden, it is so pretty and the color of your rhododendron is beautiful.
Happy garden days to you, I know you love your time spent there as I do.
Thank you, Sandra! I am on the North Shore of Massachusetts and the rhodies are in full bloom. The peonies will be the next big flowers to enjoy. Spring is a succession of floral delights!
ps. Nancy you can keep your snake, I am not interested in him at all.😊
It’s beautiful, Nancy. Happy gardening
