Hostas, Water Plants, Berry Blossoms Galore

Hubby transplanted the hostas this afternoon. He also moved all the water plants down to the farm. I got a bit of mowing done but the mower was acting up. Both it and I do not like mowing that particular section of the field due to those "ground rats" slinking along in the hay. There are also a LOT of mounds they've piled up that make it a challenge to mow. Honestly, the area needs raking as it's so thick that it makes mowing difficult, especially with our last year's deal of a mower. (It's ok, dear mower, you are a good kid!)

I got several sections of the baby lilacs weeded and also a small portion of the glads weeded. Lilacs sure love the UP! I was enjoying looking at a lot of them in our travels today.

It was so lovely to see all the white blossoms on the strawberry plants, in our new beds, old beds and the poles! (I also have a porch planter here at the house with some showing up...didn't notice any in our bed behind the house yet. Oh yes, I noticed blossoms AND berries on the few plants left right behind the house while I was watering our little apple starts. (The photo is public domain...will try to get some of our own photos in the near future.)

Hubby decided to retry our strawberry poles again this year. We tried them before with little success. This year he changed the operation a bit and placed an actual section of drip water hose in the middle of the PVC pipe for easier access for watering. They have survived the many recent frosts and also have blossoms! Thanks God!
