The Flowerbed/Garden

Dakota and I take a morning walk 

to the flowerbed/garden every morning

after I have had my coffee. 

We check things out and see if or

what is coming up.

This is my lemon sage, smells like

lemon pledge.  I started this in my 

yard years ago when I lived at my other

home and I brought some with me when

I moved here 26 yrs ago. 

Never have cooked with it though!

This is my Zinnia's (I think), there closest

to the cinder blocks.

The other batch closer to the front is, 

I think, Bachelors Button. 

You see, I planted seeds thinking 

I would remember what each thing

was planted....haha, that did not work.

OOPS!!

Look....I have cherry tomatoes!

My Heriloom Purple Cherokee lost

the blooms it had on it when I planted it.

So far, no more have appeared.

Getting close to time for my Hydrangea

to bust out in bloom.

HAHA....I found more of something in the 

flowerbed!

A neighbor up the street from my mom,

digs up some of his plants to seperate them

and puts them by the side of the road.

I got these last yr.

Something new I have never grown,

Pineapple Sage.

Wonder if I will cook with this?

Guess we will see.

Basil and Cilantro are doing

well.

I picked two peppers off my brothers

plants at the end of the season

last yr. Not sure what they are but 

they are growing!

Spiderwort, blooms first thing in the 

morn and when the sun starts moving onto

it, they close up.

 This is a ground cover, it blooms

yellow in the spring. 

Iris. Got these in the ground late. A friend

moved and dug these up for me. They are

a really dark purple, looks almost black.

At least they are poking out of the ground 

so maybe next yr they will bloom.

Everything is growing, blooming and

looking great.  I planted some BIG sunflower seeds, 

and four o'clock seeds, waiting to see if they come

up. I enjoy my walks

around the yard with Dakota each morn.

Lily usually hangs on the deck (she is not

an outside cat) and meows at us. 

So what do you have coming up in  your

garden?
