I was so pleased to find that the hidden ginger bulbs did not freeze to death this past winter. They have been growing like crazy and not hiding their beautiful flowers spikes, much to my delight.

Dash has a favorite shady spot next to them where she likes to sit and wash herself while I tend to the morning gardening tasks.

The flowers in the cutting garden were nearly choked to death with weeds after all the neglect they suffered while I was busy playing with my grandkids. The survivors are fabulous though.DSC05714 DSC05715

After we finish with the backyard, Dash and I move to the front. She is quiet company, except when she runs off to chase the butterflies.
