Vermont in June.

6-15-26 VERMONT: We are here for the summer. I came up Friday and Judy on Saturday. We have been busy organizing and all that. The big storm last night gave us 1.75 inches and a lightening show that lit up the night.

The June display is open. The big three are the roses, peonies and primrose. The peonies and roses are just getting started. I have listed everything in bloom, some things finishing up and some just starting. It’s a long list.
