Garden 337

A cottage garden in an urban setting

June to July

These are my favorite months in the garden.  So many things are in bloom.  Here are a few…

This little clump of pink astilbe brightens up the hosta bed underneath the kousa dogwood in the Secret Garden.

I thought this nameless clematis was finished blooming, but suddenly it decided to settle into a second bloom wind.

The the giant allium finished blooming weeks and weeks ago, their seed pods make for an interesting display.

Another shot of allium seed pods. They look like fireworks!

I am a gardener, a singer, a writer, a professor, a cook. I love vibrant colors and fine details. I write, I teach, I sing, I plant, I cook.

About Me

I haven’t always been a gardener, but I have always loved gardens. It has taken 16 years to get my gardens into the shape they are today. And, I’ve had help. I’m 74 years old, have rheumatoid arthritis, and had a late stage cancer six years ago. I am, though, intrepid. I’m the kind of person who plods along, tailoring my goals as I go. Last November I had a long overdue knee replacement surgery and I’m hoping this spring, summer, and fall will be able to maintain and find even more joy working in all of my garden beds. Full disclosure, though. I have a garden guy who comes once a week to work in my gardens.
