Today has been overcast, a good time to take garden pictures! Full sun is great for growing, not so good for showing.





Perennial beds

This apple tree knew I was about to cut it down for non-performance so it pumped out some apples this year.

Purple sage, scabious, and a lime-leaved coreopsis that could be a lot happier

dahlia 'Gitty Up' I haven't seen this in person in almost a year. It's prettier than I remember.

dahlia Art Act

dahlia Maki - this thing is huuuge. At least ten inches across.

dahlia Brushstrokes - not as pretty as I remembered! But still pretty.

dahlia Zorro - I love this dahlia. It's hard to capture its true awesomeness in a photo.

dahlia Mingus Toni - Fun!

dahlia - Nemo

Before

Now. My plan to annex more yard and fill it with flowers is going well.

The garden project is definitely coming along nicely. And good thing you left the apple tree alone.

I'm so jealous of your garden. I wish I had the time and discipline.

Sigh....

Yes, I guess that apple tree showed me a thing or two. Too bad I can never tell when they are ripe. Maybe that will be a new skill I acquire this year.

It's a good channel for my nervous energy? Plus pretty cut flowers.
