Gardening Goddess

Rose bush is on the far right.  Has not bloomed yet.  

The end of my garden is in full sun.  I add plants every year, either by division of older plants or purchasing a few.

Mullein.  When we still lived out at our cabin, I went to a local now defunct nursery and bought a mullein plant.  It died after an early May frost.  I lost a lot of my annuals and was taught a hard lesson not to plant too early and to not NOT cover vulnerable newly planted specimens.  So I spied a mullein growing alongside the road.  The roadside ditches are mowed a couple times a year, so it would eventually be cut down.  I dug it out and put it in my garden.  From that plant, all my mullein have derived.  Love this plant.  Leaves are a rare grey and a little fuzzy.  Mullein is a biennial.  Very reliable.

Stopped in at a local nursery and everything was so expensive.  But I did get this one little cute clover.  It was $5.  It is a ground cover, so hope it fills in over the years.  

Hosta heaven!

So pretty!

Bleeding Heart is almost done blooming.

Coral bells.  The deer did not find them yet!

Shade garden is really filling out nicely.

Made in the shade!

Using the compost from the bottom of my pile.
