Enjoying your photos and commentary very much...I was getting hungry from all the chocolate and strawberry references :-) We must share similar garden conditions because you grow many of the same plants that I do...looking forward to following your blog!
ReplyDeleteWow, your goatsbeard is already in bloom! Mine has buds, but it looks as though it will need another week or so before it blooms. I think I need to get that espresso geranium; it's gorgeous. -Jean
ReplyDeleteeverything looks beautiful and I bet it smells wonderful to.
ReplyDeletehugs from Savannah, Cherry
We must have the same taste! I also have the baptisia, the espresso geranium, the same beardtongue, and the yarrow - and I covet the foxglove. Love all the rest you have as well!
ReplyDeletethe strawberry foxglove is really dreamy. As is everything else. All different to my garden - I love them and have tried most of them at some stage but I think they needed more water than the sky gave them.
ReplyDeleteLove the dark foliaged plants. You forgot to put a little Elderberry wine in your espresso:)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I just love your comments as my garden is relatively new and now I just want to plant more and more. Melody, ME of ALL people, should not have forgotten the elderberry wine! Thank you Ellen, for following my blog - hope I do not disappoint and that you are now enjoying some sort of tasty treat! Wendy, I need to visit your garden (blog). Catmint I am sure it is "WAY HOTTER"in your part of the world!
