These are a few shots of my garden this month. All of these flowers I planted either last year or this year. As you can tell, I love dark red. I have monarda, lilies, impatiens, dianthus, nasturtim, and nemesia all in reds. Strawberries are red too, but they don't count. Another bed is mostly purples and blues.
I finally got my whitney crabapple planted, hoping it's not too late in the season. It's been sitting aorund for almost a month, waiting for the hole to be dug, which is BearHunter's job. We added some of my home made compost to the hole and mixed in some purchased topsoil. THen decorated the base with some cobalt blue glass bottles upside down. I should post a picture of that...meaning I need to take a picture of it first. Then we'll espalier the tree, probably not til next year.
I love gardening. -Calla Lily
