More Gardening

The lower border that I can see from the studio window is abloom with Black Eyed Susans right now with a few daylilies, in red and orange and some fuchsia Phlox and Lantana starting.

This fall when the weather cools I will dig it wider and add a swath of blue in the front. In preparation, Saturday I bought ten plants of Salvia and Veronica which for the time being are tucked in wherever they will fit to hopefully grow and multiply. I found a nice Tiarella and a silvery Brunnara to add to the shade garden along with a Pia Hydrangea, and a Crepe Myrtle for a sunnier spot. And some more annuals. So much stuff to plant all at once!

I ran out of black thread so had to stop quilting the coneflowers, but I got some more when we went to town so finally the quilting is done and maybe today I will get the binding on.

    Ruth, your black-eyed susans look great. Your planting plans sound good also. Do you have any bee balm? I planted one plant last year and it is gone amuck!! in a good way of course. We have had a wonderful summer here in PA with the temperature NOT going above 90 since one time in April. Sort of unbelieveable, but really nice.
