Hello friends-  Have been busy building trellis's and arbors. A new trio of Ernest Markham (magenta red), C.W. Dowman (Pink?), and Etiole Violette (purple!) reside at the base of our new trellis in the backyard. Of course we could not just plant clematis... we had to have a host of companion plantings as well.  Purpurea Plena Elegans is the first clematis to roost under the new arbor soon to be followed by other clematis and perennials. Our previously planted Polish Spirit and Tangutica are growing up their trellis nicely. Many shrubs, trees and perennials died from the unusually dry winter here in Edmonton, Alberta area.
 
The sqfting beds are planted and growing nicely. We waited until after June 1st before planting the tenders becuase of the danger of frost. It seems to have paid off - even the cucs and beans are sprouting nicely. Should be able to begin harvesting lettuce for daily salads soon.
 
Nearly finished our bathroom renovations too. Looking forward to enjoying the summer. Intend to install more flagstone path through the garden this summer.
 
How about your garden?
