Not a lot of people grow sweet potatoes this for far north. I wanted to concentrate on some super nutritious foods in my garden this summer.
We had an exceptionally cool spring and then when June came it got hotter than Hades. These taters like the heat.

I put the last seeds and plants in my garden today. We got some rain so they are off to a great start. Now, all we have to do is weed, water,weed,reseed,weed, pick, and weed some more. Also, mow around the beds now and then. Heck ya, this is fun 🌱

Purchased 2 Don Juan climbing roses last week. One is transplanted, the other is outside in its spot still in the container. It will go in this weekend. I really wanted pink climbers, but there weren’t any in stock. Red may be a better choice anyway.

I may be making up for 16 years of previously letting hubby do all gardening. Planted 3 new trees - Eastern Redbud, Common Lilac, and Jane Magnolia. Created new kitchen garden. Reclaimed 4 terrace beds for wildflower seeds. Potted up 9 containers for color in the beds. Adding 2 new climbing roses. 🌱

Spring is moving fast. Seeds are still being planted, temps all over the place, doing my best to stay focused.

The tulips are starting to fade, much to my sadness. Up next will be allium, iris, and lily.
I like the way the pink tulips (a favorite!) blend with the bleeding heart.

The tulips took their time this year, and the squirrels truly decimated them.
But now what's left of them are happening and I love them so much. I'm going to keep planting them, despite the stinking squirrels.

They are back! Prairie smoke (Geum trifolum) are one of my favorite natives.

It’s still cold here in Wisconsin, but some plants are valiantly trying to show color.
Here is a Nanking cherry.
