Verbena Bonariensis

I love Verbena Bonariensis...

Tall and fluffy, airy violet blooms.

The floating blooms surround you at eye level as you walk through the garden, yet they seem to take up no space.

Attracting bees, hummingbirds and swaying in the breeze.







The broad beans are climbing the stick tripods we made...I hope there will be enough summer to ripen the beans.

My mini meadow!

Lot's of tall wirey plants around the bird feeder make the birds happy, lots of safe places to perch.

The dry garden is doing great! Agastache, coneflower and sedums are all blooming now.

The plants are getting tall enough that you feel different when you walk through the space now...like you're going "through" something. I love it!

Cucumbers and Delphinium in the hothouse.

And one more thing that makes me happy...veg frittata.

A gift from my husband on "wife's day", a holiday he made up just for me.
