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!

Echinacea grows in three different spots in the yard. The bunnies mowed down one patch but have not touched the other two as far as I can tell. Finicky eaters!

… it is trying to take over the yard. I thought keeping this perennial in a container would help contain it. Nope. After three years, it’s roots have gone down deep into the earth and there are little mini versions of the plant all over the yard, primarily along the edges. I must say the pollinators do love it. 🙂

A second attempt to grow borage. Nestled next to the tomato plants. Let’s see if it improves the flavor of the fruits.

… there are a number of plants that will soon need to be returned to the outside. They seemed to have enjoyed their winter stay.
In fact they thrived so well that I think I may need to hire the neighbor’s teenager to carry these down the stairs. They’re all a bit bigger than when I brought them indoors.
And I can’t help but think once they’re back outside what shall I place in the “empty” spaces left behind. Ah, what a wonderful problem. 🙂

… 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.

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. 🙂
