Rain Rain Rain

I know I know, rain is good for the plants, free water! All that positive jazz, but I want it to stop raining so I can go outside and play in the garden! It rained last weekend, and raining again this weekend, so I really don't have much to report on the garden front. Instead, here's some pictures I managed to take during the week when we had a few dry hours..... the plants sure are looking better after all the water!

The rain garden after the 2.5 inches of rain last weekend

A volunteer flower that is growing up in the rain garden, I think it's a Cone flower but we'll have to wait and see!

The Daylilies box, they're finally spreading out, maybe they'll flower this year...

The strawberries bed, hopefully they'll fill back out again this year
The new tomato box, added bird netting to keep Harry out after he killed off two of the plants!

The Lettuce in the garden box

Greek Oregano - Awesome perennial that will spread and overflow this planter, so fragrant every year

The Veggie Garden! All the boxes are full of great veggies and I'm really looking forward to  harvesting this year!

The Weigela bushes are finally blooming! Planted them 4 years ago! But the flowers are so pretty!

The blackberry bushes are really filling out, seems they like all the extra rain!

And the raspberry canes are starting to grow, expecting plenty of jams and fresh fruit this year :)
