Seedlings outside now for the hardening off process. This will entail gradually exposing them to sunlight and wind over the next week, and putting them into a covered space if nights are cold. It takes a lot of moving trays around! All the seedlings are looking healthy!

There’s lots of colour and bees in the garden right now!

If you’re looking for a narrow tree with spectacular fall colour, this sweet gum tree would fill the bill. Liquidambar styracifolia “Slender Silhouette”. Will get to over 20 ft high but stay about 5 ft wide. (Sources differ. Some say 9 ft) the tree pictured here was planted 2yrs ago as a 6 ft. Check out the Hendrie garden at RBG to see slightly older specimens.

This week’s beauties. If you ever had doubts about ninebarks, take a look at how gorgeous they can be in a shrub border. Pictured are the cultivars Centre Glow, Diablo and Tiny Wine. I don’t think it would have been possible to pack on any more blossoms than these beauties did this year. And the seed heads in red are even more beautiful. The blue bellflower ( lost the cultivar name) looks great with yellow and lime green tones. And poppies are just starting to pop. There are lots around the garden from seed I scattered in the fall. It’s great to be a gardener at any time, but especially in June!

A new bird has taken up residence in my garden and its song is so beautiful I wanted to share it. I think it’s a Northern Waterthrush. Can you birders weigh in and let me know?

Another great addition to my garden from Ontario Rock Garden and Hardy Plant Society Seedex. Propagated these Asphodeline lutea last year, and despite being chewed by the rabbits, they are flowering beautifully this year. Love the architecture of this plant.
