I just haven’t been digging much this week. I should have been; I think I might have fried the Clethra [Summersweet] via neglect. But here’s what’s blooming now:
So here we see the raingardent all grown up — the lilies in the background, by the spent rose and lavender, the phlox, daisies and butterfly bush coming into their own in the forerground. What you can’t see to the right and below these plants are a new red salvia, some asters I grew from spring cuttings, some victoria sage, and a nice blue mix of veronica and Stoke’s asters.
Now this next view is near the back porch, in between the pathway and one of the mighty fig trees. I put this in last year to make room for some of the iris sale iris…. I thought it would be nice for some herbs [sages and thymes] and a few annuals [this time around it's verbena, lobelia, and some marigolds].
The iris sale is tomorrow, by the way, so my dear Midnight Gardener will get to find out what goodies I can snag him, along with the extra Devilish Delight rhizomes I’ve already set aside for him.
