Fresh Cuts: June 3

I brought in an armful of flowers to arrange in my grandmother's vase.  Here is a bit of a tease, please check in tomorrow for the full post.

It is the last day of May and we are in over our heads--literally!

East Fields

If you are following me you will recognize this shot of the east fields--just compare the growth from the photo last week.  The bells of Ireland actually look like little bell seedlings.

West Fields

The sunflower seedlings also resemble themselves.

These are peony plants.  Look carefully and to see their heads forming.

This is the poppy row, also forming heads.
