June! My garden seems to offer a new delight every day. I'm happy to stay put in the city and enjoy the show.
First the tree peonies bloom, then in the back garden we have bleeding hearts, beauty bush and Rogersia plumes.
Tiny fish and water striders in the pond. Iris starts to bloom, clematis opens and the geranium pop. Hostas still untouched by slugs.
The evening primroses open at dusk calling the night moths. I tried planting nicotania seeds this year but no results. Next year I will start indoors and plant near the primrose to create a night garden space. West Coast Seeds has jasmine tobacco that grows 3-5 feet tall. Maybe under the bird feeder? Or a pot behind the irises? An annual in our zone.
The rose is exceptional this year, bursting into flower. Rob cut it back quite vigorously and fertilized... Elizabeth obviously loves the attention. Sage bursting and onion chives perfect to pick.
Everything so, so green.
