Cutting Garden

This is a flower bed for cutting, not at all like the Cutting Arboretum also on Long Island.

After the Rain

We did a lot of work on the front garden this spring. The right side got invaded with vines and the roses had to be pulled to get at the weeds. The new hydrangea version is coming into it's own.

Creamy

My big magnolia seems to have liked our mild winter, the tree has many more blooms than in past years.

Big Storm

After a week of dry muggy weather there was a loud bag followed by a sudden down pour of rain. As fast as it started it stopped. There air now seems lighter and maybe the pollen count will be reduced.

Southern Beauty

As the bloom aged it colored like butter browning in a pan. Starting at the edges and filling in.

Classic Cottage Garden

My friend Barbara has what I think of as a cottage garden.

This garden is planted at the foundation of her porch.

The garden is looking very good this season.

Summer Colors

The flower field at the corner of Wickapogue & Old Town Road is shifting to

summer blooms with a riot of color.
