Garden and Flowers Abound

Well after the rain we had, everything perked up. Replanted cucumber seeds yesterday - hope these take. Tried to find an already started plant but no luck.  Did find some red peppers, so planted those.  Yesterday we had a tomato, an onion, and a banana pepper from our garden. Yummy start to the summer.
I have several hydrangeas in bloom, but these by the back door are my favorite, they bloom pink and blue. Last year I think I cut them back at the wrong time and they never did bloom - one of the many problems of only being here seasonally. By the way the bush with the white flowers in a previous post is spirea, I believe.  Also the rhododendron in the front of the house is starting to bloom. It always surprises me; the center starts out pink and then the flower becomes all white.
