This is the lilac bush the kids bought me last year. It bloomed later than other lilacs in the neighborhood and very tiny, petite blossoms. It smelled more refined, like a bottle of perfume. I'm anxious to see how it does in future years.
It's been a very cool and wet spring. Things have been very slow to start. The rabbits ate all of my beans so I had to replant them. The other night the hail beat up my peppers and my beans. Alex walked all over my beets. It could be a tough year for the garden. On the other hand, the strawberries are starting to fill in, and the potatoes look great.
