Thriving on Neglect

Jackmanii Clematis

The events of the past few weeks have kept me from tending the garden, Next Year.  Am thankful Next Year is a hardy garden and survives and thrives on neglect.


Oak Leaf hydrangea--these are blooming all over town and they are glorious.  


I bought these last year at the end of the season on the half price sale table.  Man on man, if I had known they were going to be this spectacular I would have purchased more.


The first of the day lilies--they survived a very long cold winter.


Yarrow--so pretty to dry and use in arrangements


Thyme--such delicate blue flowers.  Hmm, is that a weed I see?


Will we have home grown tomatoes for fourth of July?

Thank you Next Year for thriving on neglect--you bring joy to this neglectful gardeners heart.
