The state of the garden

Yesterday, I planted a give away from Elise.  A Centaurea Montana.

The plants I adopted last year from Elise, lavender and some other ones.  I'll leave them here this year.

Lilly of the valley

Flowering:
Service berry in east garden is almost done flowering.
Nanking Cherry done flowering
Lilly of the Valley is flowering

Grass:
Looks terrible...large bald spots, not sure what to do.

Grape Hyacinth are all over the place.
Goal of this year: to keep weeds at a dull roar, especially creeping bellflower

  Centaureus Montana, just blooming now.  Got this last fall from Elise.  It's in the back garden,  too. The start of crab apple tree blossoms.  Spectacular. Alot of work these last couple of days.  I covered large areas of the front garden with wet newspaper and mulch/branches from the blue spruces that fell.  Around the Nanking Cherry, Spirea, and Asian lilac.  Finished checking the drip system on west side.  Need to make sure everything is watered.  Planted five tomatoes in front west by door.
