People are always saying I should compost my food scraps. “It’s really easy to keep your dogs out”, they say. Then I’m weeding and look up to this…
Today’s weeding was the annual “try to get rid of all the bedstraw and wild carrot before it goes to seed and the dogs come in covered in them”.
On the way to the bus on Monday I took a photo of this super-cool wildflower. The flower is amazing, even if the stem is a bit too baroque for my taste. I was going to ask my gardening friends about it, but I just got an email from the Wildflower Center highlighting it with “What’s in Bloom Now”.
The stem is very blue, and that yellow puffball in the center is very dramatic.
It’s called Bluestem Pricklypoppy. So now that you know too, you should consider heading over to the Wildflower Center and joining if you haven’t already.
In hopes of actually getting to eat some tomatoes this year I got Stella some pest prevention for her raised bed gardens. Fingers crossed…
Rhett and Junie aren’t intending to knock them down, but they’re also not intending to take their play elsewhere…
Junie doesn’t appear to know how she feels about this fencing to protect new plants from her boisterous games.
This is a $50 investment in safety fencing and posts. I’ll update on how it works.
Also Redbuds!
