A beautiful day...

     Not only did I have my favourite garden slave, Denis,at my side

 but our eldest granddaughter, Brenna, came to have lunch and help me with my blog.

Shown here, with her lover Jesse.

     Mulching, transplanting, weeding, hanging up bird houses and signage, there's actually space between my plants!
     We lost our favourite clematis over the winter and our 25 year old Sand Cherry, too.

I wanted to replace the Sand Cherry with a Kousa Dogwood- China Girl and after many phone calls, located one and our beloved Purpurea Plena Elegans clematis at Vineland Nurseries, Martin Road, Beamsville.

Their motto is "Special Plants for Special Places"- our gardens of course.

     Brenna sits typing beside me, too many memories to recall of her and I together.
 This is another good one. More to come.
