Late spring and the garden is predominately yellows and blues.
Starting from the left the edging plants are
Geranium 'Nimbus',
lady's
mantle, Salvia 'May Night' and
Nepeta mussini (catmint).

Looking in the other direction towards the shrub rose garden behind the
arbor covered with 'William Baffin' hot pink roses.
|
|
Looking through the arbor there is a pathway edged by sweet William, sedum
and alpine strawberries. It is hard to see the shrub roses blooming, but
there are several varieties including 'Jens Munk,' Delicata,' 'Therese Bugnet,'
and many others.

July and the Coreopsis 'Zagreb' is blooming behind the
Salvia 'May Night.'
The 'William Baffin' rose is still going strong on the arbor, which definitely
makes a statement next to the deep red Asiatic lilies.

Late July and the garden is a riot of color. The annual edging plants
in the foreground are Salvia 'Marble Arch.' Ageratum 'Leilani,' and forget me
nots. All a beautiful blue and my favorite garden color.

The kitchen garden gives and just keeps giving all summer long. This
was taken in late August and the kale and the second crop of cut and come
again lettuce are doing well on the right and the the sunflowers in the back have
reached gargantuan proportions.
