All the flowers in these pictures came from a free packet of seeds I received in the mail. The have been a nice surprise.
Straw flowers and Icelandic Poppies grown from a packet of seeds I received in the mail. That is a Ballerina rose in the background that is covered with blooms.
The petals of this poppy are so delicate looking.
It's getting warm. I swam in the pool for the first time this year.
- I planted 7 red Salvia greggii along the back of the house. I had caryopteris in that bed but only one of them returned after our harsh winter.
- I planted 5 Pink Muhly in the Wave Garden.
- I planted 5 Silver Frost Sedum in the Star Garden.
- I planted 3 Pennyroyal in the Infinity Garden (Medicinal Herb garden). Pennyroyal is an abortifascient. If you drink a tea made from Pennyroyal when you're pregnant it will cause the fetus to abort.
- Fertilized the corn in the Vegetable Garden.
- Watered all the shrubs in the Greenhouse Garden.
- Watered the fruit trees in the Orchard.
- Worked in the Rose Garden pulling weeds and pulling up all the California Poppies before they go to seed. All the wildflowers I planted in the rose boxes have really gotten in the way of my roses. I didn't like that at all. Next year I don't want the same thing to happen again.
- Weeded the Star Garden.
- Pulled up carrots and parsnips from the Vegetable Garden to bring home for dinner next week..
