Well it’s Bloom Day again, and I’m ashamed to admit that it’s been a rather long time since I last put up a Bloom Day post. Even longer still since I’ve posted about my own garden. It’s not that I have a shortage of flowers during the “warm” months (I put warm in quotes because it’s currently in the 50s and rainy here), I just usually tend to forget to take pictures of them. But not today! For your viewing enjoyment...

So this afternoon, Judy and I headed over to our friend Eve’s place so we could take pictures of her garden. As you can see, Eve and her husband Dave live out in the country, and I’m ever so slightly envious of their lovely spot. However, I’m not at all envious of the amount of work...

It’s not really a big secret that I am not a plant geek. In fact, up until a few years ago, I never had much use for flowers. There. I said it. However, I’ve been coming around, and it would be nice to at least know what’s growing in my own yard. Posting pictures here on the blog and asking for help has yielded very successful results for me in the past (you garden blog readers are such a resourceful bunch!), so I’ve decided to do it...
