I Scattered The Seeds...

"I perhaps owe having become a painter

to flowers." Claude Monet

This Spring and all the way through June

it RAINED.

This caused most of my vegetable seeds

to rot.

I was very upset... my time weeding,

preparing the soil, tenderly  planting 

somewhat straight rows, and all I had 

was a sore back and hands.

SO out of frustration I mixed all my 

old flower seeds I had been saving...

and wildly threw them everywhere in

my beloved veggie garden.

Up popped Painted Daisies, CA poppies, Bachelor Buttons,

Gypsophilia, Wild Owl Clover, Veronica, the list just goes on and on...

Bee Balm which brought some honey bees (yea) and

hummingbirds by the dozen.

Liatris just opening.

My favorite Black-Eyed-Susan vine.

(I must admit I bought this vine)

more daisies and

Love -Lies-Bleeding 

(which is just opening up. The flower will have 

long chenille like flowers in a few more week. 

I used to grow a lot of this for dried flower arrangements) 

Zinnia's from my friend Monica all the way
from Italy.

Look what showed up down under all the flowers.

Every day something new opens up and 
brightens my day. I just had to share
my "veggie" garden with you!
Have a wonderful day.
