Welcome to my garden! Here, I will show you what is currently blooming in USDA zone 6a Massachusetts. June is now in full swing, so that means peonies and clematis! I am drawn to the cottage garden style, so those are some of my favorite plants to grow. New England weather is known for some crazy fluctuating temperatures. This season has definitely been exactly that. An early bout of heat followed by an oddly cold spring, weeks of rain and finally a heat wave. We skipped the 75 degree days and went straight to 95 degrees! Heat Miser is definitely behind this.

My vegetable garden is undergoing a major renovation at the moment. First comes the tear down, then comes the rebuild. I'm somewhere in the middle. With finances, busy schedules and rain delays getting in the way it's currently going at a snails pace. Usually by this time of year, my veggie garden is filled with cucumbers, lettuce and cherry tomatoes ready to be picked. Sadly, this year is different.

I'm making due by focusing on container gardening and filling my flower beds with hardy perennials. I still have herbs and some veggies here and there, but I'm definitely not used to this. I'm getting by and telling myself it will all be worth it. I'm setting my sights on something bigger and better! Without further ado, here are some photographs of what's currently blooming now.
