Gardening is my favorite hobby and I am a certified Master Gardener. An array of flowers bloom in my yard all year long. Primroses and tulips, irises and rhododendons. Fragrant roses and clematis, columbines, nasturtiums and several varieties of poppies pop up everywhere. Sweet alyssum fills the air and everywhere calendulas bloom from spring to late fall. Each day I check to see what's new -- besides weeds -- that is!
