I took some photos of my progress so far for the year, I still have more plots to fill in more beds to plant.this was a great day for planting the temperature was about 80°f and I couldn’t wait to get started.
These are some of my geraniums this year I was able to find the darker red color, these are my favorites
I haven’t gotten a chance to do too much with the pond area yet, the pond has been cleaned and the lilies has been brought up from the bottom . I still have to keep a cover over the pond until my trees stopped dropping their seeds.
Here are some of my pots I just finished planting, it seems like my hostas come back faster each year.

The Maple in the picture is a Japanese maple of this type has a fine leaf and can be pruned into interesting shapes. There is also another Japanese maple with a darker color and broader leaf.
