One of the nice things about staying close to home this year is that I get to chronicle the happenings in my garden! Normally I’d be heading to South Dakota and missing the bloom of my backyard. I’ve been collecting native plants (some seeds provided by biologist friends, some seedlings purchased from the native plant sale). I don’t use chemicals, so I try to choose plants that will outcompete nuisance plants (i.e. weeds). I have a thick patch of Bee Balm (Mondarda) and Joe Pye Weed. I have tons of Phlox and Coneflowers and Cup Plant (looks like a sunflower). This time of year it mostly looks like a cacophony of green, but some things are starting to emerge!
Wren’s hymn of comfort today is Sometimes a Light Surprises. Light definitely results in some beautiful surprises in my garden!
Gorgeous. The beetle on the monardo lools beautiful
What a rich, beautiful sound on the cello!! The flowers are gorgeous, too. Thank you.
