What’s Blooming Today

May 1, 2010 by Jeanne

As temperatures soared unexpectedly into the 90’s today (very hot for this time of year), many of my perennials finally burst into bloom. Enjoy this little tour around the garden! I drove into town this morning for the Heart of Virginia Festival but only stopped at the plant sale at the train station. I picked up two tomato plants and two mums and looked for some of my local blog readers who said they would be there, but as luck would have it, they weren’t at the plant sale tables. Sorry I missed you!

It’s too hot to garden today but you can enjoy a little virtual tour of the flowers….

Happy Weekend!

    Hi Jeanne,

    Sorry I missed you too! We have to feed chickens before I can come so it was 10:00 AM before I got there. Have to do my real work first! Thanks for coming.

    I missed you by about 10 minutes. I got there early to avoid the festival crowds! Hope you made a lot of money for the Master Gardener Group.
