Pastel pink and baby blue - I would have never planned
this combination thinking it too bland. I think it works here because neither bloom
is overpowering. The quantity of forget-me-nots seems to balance the larger mum
flower.
The self-sowing Forget-Me-Not seeds followed gravity down
the mulch slope over the winter and geminated in the Clara Curtis Mums. It’s what I love about the self-sowers. Every year I see surprising combination
without any effort at all.
Mum ‘Clara Curtis’, Dendranthema zawadskii, planted in 2004 from
Wayside, blooms all summer. I cut it back just a little in late fall. In spring it has always started to bloom early
and continues to bloom until frost.
Annual Forget-Me-not ‘Blue Bird’ Myosotis dissitiflora, planted directly in the garden in 2006 with
Ferry & Morse seeds.

I grew some golden chard this year, which is looking great, and is the one thing to have evaded the marauding armies of slugs...but I picked some for the first time a couple of days ago and it tasted VERY bitter - even with copious amounts of olive oil, butter and salt it had an unpleasant tang. I've had chard plenty of times before and not had this problem - could the bitterness have been made worse by the weather conditions this year Delhi Flowers
