Columbines as they should be, full of blooms swaying happily in the breeze...
Columbines after a nasty creature decided that they made a fabulous meal!
Even more damage....
Nasty creatures themselves. I managed to kill these ones with a bowl of soapy water, and was pleased to see them drop from the plants. I'm hoping that the two plants that still have lots of leaves will be fine and that the ones that got severely munched will manage to hold their own and come back.

The rest of the gardens are coming nicely but I need to go plant shopping and add mulch again. It seems that life has been so busy that my time in the gardens is so limited that I leave the camera inside. I acquired a push mower yesterday from my friend and loved using it. A real workout in the fresh air can't be beat!

Crabapple tree blossoms in full swing. The tree is so full of flowers this year that the branches are bending under the weight.

Azalea ready to burst open. A shocking pink colour but it makes me happy!
