I'm a messy gardener. Don't let the lovely macros I sometimes deliver to my photo blog fool you. Over-all, my garden is low-budget, low-maintenance and there are times when I talk to the weeds. :-)

A journal of our humble New England garden. Dedicated to W.P., with love.

Late Bloomers in the Pagan Sphinx Garden


Delphinium's Last Hurra


Delphinium seed pods
There a million of them. I've scattered them here and there to see if they'll take.


The daisies have long since said goodbye


Dahlia?


Morning Glory
WP planted the seeds late.



One last rose.


Back to Morning Glory and the herb garden


Mint



And the foxglove is not quite ready to give up on summer, either.

Reminiscing on June's Flowers


I think it was the best month in both my front and back gardens


The Peonies, planted last year, seem to like it in the backyard. We just never know about that sandy soil. Must be the South Western sun.




 Foxglove is new to the front garden and it is just one plant but it kept blooming for weeks

 

 

 

 The Oriental Lillies didn't fare very well. You can see where the beatles started their invasion. It got worse and worse and they had to be pulled out. Unless anyone has a better solution. It was really a drag to lose these lovely, sturdy blooms to the dang beatles!
