Early morning clouds brought some cooler temperatures to the garden this morning.
I picked the last of the peas and beans and was thrilled to find my first cucumbers.
Lots of salads on the menu this week.

Lost and Found
While cleaning up flower beds this Spring, it was clear my beautiful Butterfly Bush’s had not survived the Winter.
Last Fall I had planted just a few Liatris that I had started in the greenhouse. They have filled in the empty gaps and are going to be stunning in a few days….I love the purple against the grey-green colors of Rabbit Run Cottage.
Notice anything else? That hole in the porch post is missing it’s Flag. Lost in the storm.
Check back in the garden in a few days if you love purple!
Bountiful Basil
The Basil continues to grow at a fast pace.
Find a spot of shade
It’s best to find a little shady spot on these hot Summer days.
I tucked the crate of Mint cuttings onto the porch of Rabbit Run Cottage.
Sweet peas
Let’s check the garden Rosie!
Rosie trots along with me on nearly every visit to the garden.
She stops and looks at the raised beds and sticks her nose in Herbs, just like me!
I love her to bits!
The many faces of Rosie!
Garden Beans–Magical colors
Royal Burgundy green beans.
A stunning purple color, good producer and nice sweet flavor.
A bowl of these doesn’t last long on the table! Great snack!
Instructions for living a life
Pay attention.
Be Astonished.

When the garden really takes off, spilling over the edges of the raised beds.

Peas and beans are ready for picking.
