The Pool is Open

This is what the Weeping Beech looked like this last week.



This is it this morning.


A bit of heat and rain and it opened right up.


Here are a few pics of the gazebo I took before I started to work on it. You can see how bad it was. The green leaves are the first ones to open on the Beech.


You can see all of the clematis that was bogging things down and holding in moisture.


I finally got my drill fixed.


It is raining today so I will be back to work on this tomorrow.


My phlox is still blooming!


And finally the pool is open.


The water is not quite clear yet. We don't use chemicals. We have a copper filtration system.


I planted rhubarb and tomatoes.


And some peppers.


I still have lettuce coming up from last fall.


I can't wait for my radishes.


All of my pots are doing well.


My climbing hydrangeas are about to bloom.


The back door to my garage has a devil door knocker.


Teddy is on the prowl.


Ready to do her garden tour.


But first I get a treat request!
