May Flowers

Every year Spring brings masses of flowers that can be the laziest part of gardening. Azaleas, Hydrangeas, Iris, and scores of other woody shrubs and perennials come back and are generally bigger displays than the year prior.
Plan your planting. Plant those things that are the backbone of your yard or garden. That is to say the things that take the longest to grow, or will grow to be the largest plants the garden.
Every year I add more blooming shrubs and perennials so that each successive year is more spectacular, with little effort.
