I do not envy you for those long cold winters further up north. It is nice just to walk around in the garden centers sometimes and take in the sight and smalls of the flowers. Your flowers are looking great as does your landscaping. You have done a wonderful job. It has to be a lot of work to take care of it after long hard winters there in Minnesota.

The wife and I also waited until about mid-May to plant everything. Ours are doing pretty good as well. We didn't plant a vegetable garden this year though. We do have two tomato plants and that is it.
