twoeleveni'd finally gotten the time to post about my gardens, and i was going to write how wonderfully they were doing, but deer have done a number on my lilies. ate all the buds off, they did. stupid antler rats.
but *most* of the gardens are doing well. the blueberry bushes are again covered with berries, and i spent a while this spring adjusting their soil pH, so i'm hoping the blueberries will be food this year.
i managed to lift a mass of dahlia tubers, store it for the winter, and get it to regrow. it had developed some fuzz over the winter, but i took random online advice, and sprayed it with dilute bleach. that seemed to kill the sprouts it had, but i decided to plant it anyway. and once again, it's growing from several ends. it's a very happy dahlia.
the violet cornflowers are just starting to bloom, and i'm expecting a stunning display. pictures soon.
