It's June and we have some fruits developing on our haskaps and strawberries; I think something has gotten to our serviceberries and plums though (curculio maybe). And so many more flowers!

Geraniums, Spurge, Lily of the Valley, and tricolor Willow:

Blackberries and Irises:

Rhododendron with a solitary bee:

Some of the weeds have been going haam too; I think I removed about 2 miles of Asiatic Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) yesterday just from one garden area.

What's growing on with you all?

Very cool! I've had success tip layering them as well; our first round got shaded out a little much so I've got their rooted cuttings in more sun this year.

Holy moly! And I totally agree - I did 'bright lights', 'silverado', and 'bali' this year and am very excited for them to do well. While I sort of get folks who are hesitant about it, I very much don't understand saying no to plentiful, beautiful, delicious food.
