Vacation

I went away for a week and a day

for a little rest and a little play.

Trimmed some hosta and several astilbe.

A gardener is a gardener and always will be.

Neglected Garden

.


The last two weeks have been very hectic. I haven’t had much time in the garden. And, the weather has been oppressively hot and humid – heat index in the 100’s. I thought I’d share a few plants living in my garden. They seem to thrive without any help from me.
.


Astilbe – nurtured for years and now on its own
.

.
Snapdragons – re-seeded from plants I bought several years ago.

.

.
Mock Orange – came with the house but barely alive. Sweet smell and memories.

.
Red Hot Poker – a gift from a friend I’ve lost contact with.

.
Asparagus – gift from a neighbor delivered by birds or wind.
