Pansies, lavender, lemon verbena, a bit of basil and some marigolds … the containers on the patio grew a bit wonderfully wild. The pollinators and birds don’t mind. This upcoming weekend I’ll try to clean things up a bit and then make a plan for trying my hand at growing pansies from seed for the fall. We’ll see!

Flowers and herbs, real and faux. Just playing around with colors and textures and even scents (that’s Thai basil in front) to make a little spot of joy. Since this photo was taken the echinacea flowers have become seeds in a bag and a small bowl of blood oranges sits next to the faux orange flowers. Amazingly the Thai basil still looks the same. And when I lifted it just now I realized that the stems had grown roots. A certain fellow in this household has an upcoming planting project as soon as I find the right pot.

I begin to think that it is the same dove that appears because it no longer flies away even when one is right next to the window.

… didn’t make it but the other plants brought in for the winter appear to be doing fine. A lovely sight and scent when the sun heats the basil.

This area was once filled with pothos that had way overgrown and once upon a time was lush and green but after much unattendance this summer had become gnarly and brown so … I cleaned house so to speak. Many a pothos tendril is sitting in jars of water waiting to root so this area may be pothos-strewn once more but for now light falls upon summer garden herbs and flowers that will hopefully find this to overwinter.

Cleaning up in the garden still … a slow process … and found a bit of thyme that was the perfect excuse to slow down and make some pickles. Not bad. 🙂
