Spring Galloping Into Summer

Laurel

 

After two somewhat warm spring weeks at the beginning of April, we have had much cooler temps these last two weeks. It has been in the mid to high 30's many nights with frost on two of those nights.  The temperature  has struggled to reach 60 most days. Now the weather is supposed to charge into summer this week with highs in the mid 80's to 90.  I need to get out the short-sleeved shirts and shorts.

The above photo is one of the many cherry laurel bushes we have in both the front and back yards.


Viburnum

This is the only snowball viburnum bush in the yard that just bloomed this past week.


Lady Ferns

The lady ferns have really grown and filled out in the last two weeks.  They are surrounding the hellebores plants in the backyard under the trees.  We also have some in the garden on the side of the house under the trees there.


Azalea

This is one of the older azalea bushes on the side yard that bloomed a week ago.  We have some in the front that have not bloomed yet.  Most azaleas are blooming in the neighborhood, as well as most dogwood trees.  The three dogwood trees in our yard have not yet bloomed.
