The sunburst honey locusts have their leaves out now and that means big time yellow which makes for a nice contrasts.
Lilacs have started to fade a bit as has the yellow perennials that put on such a nice show earlier this spring. The spreading phlox is still blooming, with the purples showing up the best, but also white and red. The tall wild phlox are just starting to bloom as are the daisies, and there are a lot of them.
The candy tufts are all white.
The last of the tulips are losing their blooms.
Most of the hostas are at size and the irises are getting ready to go to town.
Still doing lots of work on flower beds, a never-ending chore. Often I wish I hadn't made so many. It sure would be much easier just to cut the grass.
LAWN TRACTOR PROBLEMS
I was unable to cut the grass last Thursday because the good old John Deere tractor wouldn't start. There was absolutely nothing when I turned the key. Friday, I called the place I have it tuned up every year and they were going to pick it up today.
Going too long between cuttings this time of the year isn't too good of an idea. My buddy Frank suggested a jump start and it turned on. Saturday, it wouldn't turn on again, but a couple hours of trickle charge and it did.
i tried it again this morning and it started so cancelled their picking it up.
Two years ago, it needed a new battery and this past winter, they had to replace the regulator. Let's hope I have no more problems. But the tractor is getting old as I bought it in 1994.
