To the list of things blooming now, I would add:

• Blue Flax, which is a remnant of our wildflower mix. We left quite a few of those bunches up in our Aspen tree area.
• Our lilac bush, which is a little later than most around here. We have a Korean lilac (‘Miss Kim’ I think). It’s a smaller bush than most lilacs, and ours is only about two feet tall after a few years in the ground.
• Pansies are still going pretty well.
• The English daisies are also still blooming but are slowing down now.

Overall, it’s not much of a bloom season yet, even though there is a lot on these lists. It’s still pretty sparse.

What’s keeping me busy lately? I’m working on trenching for the new pipe that will bring the pressurized irrigation water to my sprinkler system. It’ll probably be about a week before I get it done.
