In your climate, I would imagine all those peppers and tomatoes and things would grow quite happily without much intervention needed. <br />I have decided a cutting garden is the way I have to go, because I can only bear to cut so many from my flowerbeds! :) Linnaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06500189741421518061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892751680998801705.post-312224790681919102017-03-14T22:44:08.816-07:002017-03-14T22:44:08.816-07:00Yes!

Got to love that! <br />I still remember our snowball bush in Idaho. We would pick off the big round flower heads and let all the smaller florets "snow" down around us. Good times!

I've no experience with gardening, but you are a total inspiration to me, and starting my own flower cutting garden sounds kind of like a dream (right after that salsa garden I want). I need to learn everything I can, and this book looks gorgeous! So fun!

Thanks to you figuring out the name for me, I was able to finally get some in my front flower bed. It bloomed for the first time last year, but it was still a little scraggly. I can't wait for it to fill out in the next year or two! I love that it's drought tolerant and keeps its bloom through the summer.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423548891709147151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892751680998801705.post-14925509579101317182017-03-10T16:04:07.181-08:002017-03-10T16:04:07.181-08:00I need to plant more bee loving flowers so our bee...I need to plant more bee loving flowers so our bees don't have to travel so far. Especially ones that bloom in the summer when there is not as much pollen for them to find.

One of my fondest memories of flowers is when I was a girl and we lived in Maryland. One year my mom wanted Black-eyed Susans on the side of our house so my dad let me help him plant them (not sure how much help I was). They still make me smile whenever I see them. <br /><br />Megan (Fuller Young) :) thesunnevergoesdown@gmail.comMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980153544816740663noreply@blogger.com
