Both of these dahlias told me they are Spartacus, but I think the little guy might be lying. 🌱

Two dahlias in a small glass vase. The bigger one has frilly petals with a pink and purple ombre effect. The small one is a pompous type with dark red petals and a yellow-green center. Only one of them is Spartacus.

Yes sir, yes sir. Two drawers full.

A drawer full of 1/4 cup spice jars (mostly from Penzeys) and miscellaneous other packages.

Another drawer full of 1/2 cup spice jars (also mostly from Penzeys).

It's a glorious morning here.🌱

And the harvest. This was my crop of garlic so far (3 years). Putting them under a thick layer of mulch seems to have really helped. Also, it wasn't a planned experiment, but the ones planted the deepest did best of all.🌱

Approximately 70 heads of garlic with leaves still attached laid out to dry on a teak bench. They are various shades of brown and yellow and covered with dirt.

About 250 miles away, but the wind is stacked against me.

This is what happens when you leave the seed heads on your rudbeckia for the birds over winter. This doesn't include the couple dozen I transplanted elsewhere, the couple dozen I composted, nor the countless babies I pulled out of the gravel path.🌱

An English Cottage style garden is overrun with brilliant golden flowers.

Red currant harvest! 🌱 We waited too long last year to put the nets up and the birds ate everything. I just got them cleaned up and drying in a mesh basket, but I'd guess we got about pint, maybe 3 cups.

New friend just moved in. 🌱🦋

A red admiral butterfly on a patch of rudbeckia. It has white spots on its wingtips and orange stripes.

The flowers are yellow with red-orange centers on the petals and dark brown sexy bits in the middle.

The butterfly's sexy bits are not on display.

Here are some views of the cottage garden and a close up of the vetch. It's really pretty although I don't really need more purple in the yard.🌱

Rudbeckia getting ready to explode. The flower buds are just starting to turn yellow but haven't opened yet.

Close up view of the purple and white hairy vetch flowers. There are multiple small blooms on a tall stalk. They look like narrow long bells.

The weather has been glorious here lately with good rain a couple times a week so the garden is doing really well and I've gotten lots done.🌱 The veronica came with the house, the vetch blew in from somewhere. I bought the butterfly weed from Prairie Nursery. Everybody else was grown from seed.
