5/22 It rained for about 5 minutes. Still hopeful.

The late spring flowering has begun. Spotted Hawkweed, Pink Soapwort, Big Leaf Winter Creeper, Columbines, Bridal Wreath Spirea, Buttercup, Star of Bethlehem, First Iris, Autumn Olive, Black Cap Raspberries, Pagoda Dogwood, Honeysuckle, Virginia Creeper, Solomon's Seal.

Wish granted- raining steadily! Temperature has dropped. Nice!

I love it when this happens- young boy riding by on his bike, sees the plant sale sign. Has $2 and asks about perennials. "What would you like?" "I don't know. Just any perennials". So I loaded him up. Lamium, Borage, Bee Balm, Nicotiana
