I mentioned to Lizzy that I should do an outdoor post about what is growing in my garden. Late spring is peak because the long hot days haven't arrived yet and plants are enjoying lovely days sprinkled with bouts of rain.
I realized my garden style mimics my quilts! Free flowing, humble and scrappy!
Feel free to scroll past all the flowers to the video at the end of this post.
Instead of dirt or weeds we planted wildflowers. Flax is always dependable.
And yarrow, which is natural to this area.
These lupine are natural to the area as well.
These are in the flower bed. Not sure what they are. Apparently the deer aren't fond of them!
Clematis
Coreopsis
Mock Orange
Some daisy like flower that reseeds freely.
Rugosa. This hardy rose stands up to heat and deer!
This little rose is such a surprise! I have 3 of them and they are about 1' high and bloom year after year! They are the closest to the front door or the deer would eat them to nothing.
Lupine. These are a bit fussy but so showy when they are 4-5'!
I have since trimmed the dead seed heads.
Showy but don't know what it is.
Snow in summer.
What a plant looks like after a deer or rabbit have breakfast!
My lavender is just getting started. Mine self seeds freely and I have a lot growing! The bees love it.
Net to the short roses is this profuse early flower. Not sure what it is either. Catmint?
Thanks for going with me on a walk around my garden! Let's check it out again in about a month.
The video was a bit last minute! Please overlook any errors!
Here's the link if you cannot click on the video.
Enjoy your day!
