May is a prolific blooming month in the garden. I took a few photos today as I wandered around and did some spot-weeding. The tulips are still amazing, including the big patch of new bulbs, but also the individual left-over artist\u2019s tulips in white and deep pink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above is a drastic houseplant rescue. I had purchased two dwarf peace lily plants for employees at work prior to the pandemic shuttering the office. I moved them to my office and tried to keep them watered over the past year. However, because they were so pot bound, it was impossible to keep them appropriately watered and fed during weeks when I didn\u2019t venture to the office. I brought them home yesterday and potted them up today. The first one I put in a larger pot with fresh soil. The second one, I split in half and potted back in the two pots the plants came in. I was ruthless in cutting back their roots and their mostly dead leaves. We\u2019ll see if they can recover from this drastic treatment. If they do, I\u2019ll give them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
