I am no exception, as I planted snapdragons, lambs ear, candytuft, lavender and larkspur last weekend. Today I stopped into The Enchanted Forest (don't you love that name for a nursery?) and was tempted by several items.
Flat-leaf parsley, curly parsley, dill, chives, German thyme, lemon thyme

White flowers are my favorites ts I got a few Vinca to brighten up the Night Garden.
White vinca. I really like the little pink eye.

Lithodora, with a pot of lavender in the background. Peeking out from behind are spring onions I will plant in the potager tomorrow. |
This is a Wire Vine that my sweet sister bought for me. It is one of her favorites. It is nice, don't you think? Lovely in pots.
My favorite things to cook with fresh are Thyme, Tarragon, and Basil. I planted seeds for these and some others, and everything except the Thyme is ready for transplant. The Thyme didn't even sprout. Since I live in an apartment, these plants are going on the balcony in pots. But I just got a raised bed at the community center and am excited to grow some flowers there. The Lithodora sounds interesting. Thanks for all the gardening inspiration. Your writing shows how much you love it!
ReplyDeleteBeryl, I've never had success with thyme seeds, or lavender seeds germinating. A balcony garden will be lovely! I had one once and loved it. Can add many things and it looks so lush because everything is close together and makes a big show.
DeleteLove the article about plants. You have such good luck with most herbs and lavendar also that I have NEVER been able to grow but do love it. Anything about plants and animals make me happy. Our sweet kittens are such a pleasure and can't wait until we see their little eyes open. Keep growing.
ReplyDeleteThe plant and animal kingdoms are the best! I hope the hailstorm didn't scare our Sox too badly. Can't wait until morning to see the kittens and Sox again!
