Another Day in the Life



Good Morning

We have a bright sunshiny, humid day ahead. In a bit I will be heading to the nursery to break my pledge to not buy annuals. I need some instant gratification. Peonies are in full bloom at the moment. I have about 20 plants, some added in and others splits from those already here. It's not right that iris and peonies bloom only once and not for that long. 

The wildflower seeds I sowed last week are germinating, as is the basil. I have a large area I plan to simply toss the seed onto and see what happens without any prep. When we have a cooler day I'm going to drag Mark around to dig up red cedar to plant in formations on that large carpet of grass in the front. I know, riveting!


 


Just because it's what I do, I'll leave you with a simple but satisfying dinner had a few days ago. Flowers. Food. The only thing missing is a cat.



Frieda is here to serve.

The Food looks amazing. Do y'all grow Dahlias or Coneflowers? Your hostas in the previous photograph look well established.

I've had some nice flowers from just chucking seed mixes around. Usually the following year. This year that's how I got the sweet William and honesty. Labor free gardening.

Your peonies are beautiful!
