Almost time to plant

Almost an inch and a half of rain since yesterday morning!   

I just ordered three new rose bushes.  They are fragrant climbers.  I'm going to replace one that is against the side of the tool shed.  I know I will put one on the fence on the south side of the house.  Maybe the other one will go on the fence on the north side, or perhaps up the posts that holds the swing at the end of the patio.  That would be a nice place for it.  I got two Rosa Zephirine Drouhin, a long blooming thornless climber;  the other is the Rosa Climbing Cinderella, which has  large, old-fashioned quartered blooms.  

Vinca  (periwinkle) is starting to bloom.  I just have bits of it around the yard.
