The Sedums 'Autumn Joy' look as if they're ready to send up flower stalks already, the Thyme is gorgeous, the Gaura are all above ground, the Obient Plant, which was one last year is now more than a dozen, the Phlox (above) looks spectacular, the Lemon Balm (top) is bright green and three times as big as last year. Wow! As long as this hot weather does not last too long (low 80F, high 20C) and we get another few weeks of "normal" temps, my May garden will be delightful!
