Purple Power
The liatris shows more color each day.
They are framing the front porch of Rabbit Run Cottage quite beautifully this year.
Still missing is the little flag from the front porch post…I’m working on a little replacement.
Pansies
My first try at starting Pansy seeds in the greenhouse this year.
They are just starting to bloom, and the colors were worth the wait.
Keeping the greenhouse tidy
A old thread bobbin makes a perfect twine holder for the greenhouse.
Thread a string all the way through the bobbin and knot the end to keep it in place.
The spool of twine slides over the bobbin.
Tidy and tangle free!
Feeling Blue
A handful of Bachelor Buttons, fresh picked from
The Pickery.
Garden produce
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
