@rosemarya I have been enjoying the gardens from the sidelines this year The Irises are up and nicely green, but no buds yet. Some of the other annuals are at the same stage and others are just getting going. My husband cleaned up the debris and straightened the statues, so we are just waiting for the blossoms. Our weather is still quite volatile, churning between cold, warm, rainy, cloudy and windy. Thank you for checking in on me.
