In my garden

 A Visitor


Blossoms in June






A garden quote from Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park

“It was sad to Fanny to lose all the pleasures of spring. She had not known before what pleasures she had to lose in passing March and April in a town. She had not known before how much the beginnings and progress of vegetation had delighted her. What animation, both of body and mind, she had derived from watching the advance of that season which cannot, in spite of its capriciousness, be unlovely, and seeing its increasing beauties from the earliest flowers in the warmest divisions of her aunt’s garden, to the opening of leaves of her uncle’s plantations, and the glory of his woods.”
 

This Year’s Herb Garden

Rosemary, tarragon, oregano, sage, thyme, parsley.

One of the best parts of doing the Pollinator Bioblitz last week was seeing which flowers butterflies and bees sought out. Your flowers are beautiful. I bet the herbs have a great scent.

Beautiful flowers. I love hydrangeas! I just bought some to put in here. Is that a frog or a toad ... perhaps a toad ... he's a big guy! all good pics.

Your herb garden is rocking it. I forgot to do tarragon this year (for which I am very sorry!)

Your herbs are looking much healthier than mine.

Lol. Love your visitor. So cute and plump. :D Love your blossoms. I'm currently crocheting plants for my indoor planters because I have a hard time keeping real plants alive, lol.

My oregano, tarragon, and thyme look nothing like yours. My sage died within two weeks of planting it. Your flowers are stunning.
