So, here we are...the May Long Weekend. The starting gun has sounded and Calgary gardeners are off to the garden centres in a mad panic to buy ALL the flowers.
I admit, I popped into 2 of them this morning but my list was short; white impatiens and a couple trellises. While I didn't find the trellis I am envisioning, I was successful and came home with a flat of white impatiens.
And some white New Guinea Impatiens and a few orange trailing petunias to disguise my rain barrel. Oh! and some bamboo stakes for the tomatoes.
While only 2 of the daffodils I planted last fall dodged the squirrels, my tulips fared slightly better. I estimate that 10 bulbs were lost but I have probably 15 yellow ones that have popped up and flourished. Those odds aren't that bad and I am planning on adding more next year.
They are just too gorgeous to resist.
