Things have been veritably shooting up out of the ground lately, aided by vast amounts of both rain and sun. I mowed the back yard for the first time on April 30, and it was already very tall (and is in desperate need of another mow). The Ramos team finally mowed our front yard for the first time on May 8, seriously overdue.
Yesterday I bought $45 worth of herbs, anemone, and creeping phlox at the Maplewood Garden Club plant sale but have not yet put them in the ground.

| The baptisia was starting to bud on May 1 and has actually grown a lot in the 10 days since then |
 |
| The bleeding heart started blooming around May 1 (date of this photo) and is still blooming |
 |
| This is my new peony on May 1, the one I thought wasn't going to appear. It's a lot smaller than my established peony but nonetheless wonderful. |
 |
| Viburnum and creeping phlox on May 1 |
 |
| Tulips on May 3. Very pleased with these perennial tulips; I hope they really do return. |
 |
| May 4. Daffodils at their peak. |

| I finally got the remaining seedlings from the mini-greenhouses into the ground. From left to right, I put in Larkspur, allium, and foxgloves (which had really tiny seedlings - prob better to direct sow). I also put in the pepper seedlings in a spot closer to the house, between Emma's other plantings. |
 |
| Sweet peas on May 4. I am delighted with these - they look so healthy and eager to climb! |
 |
| The pepper seedlings went into the middle between Emma's patches of flowers, on May 4. |
 |
| Tulips on May 4. They probably peaked around May 7ish. Lovely. |

| This and all below are from today |

| The cherry blossoms blew across the street from a neighbor's house! |
