I’m increasingly leaning toward French marigolds over mums for fall displays. Love their vibrant colors and long-lasting blooms. Sharing a few photos from my garden this year! Very impressed by the yellow variety!

Enjoyed a slow walkthrough watching bees enjoy my roses…featuring Claire Austin and the Pilgrim

Amazed at this beauty and wanted to share.

I had fun with this arrangement of cut flowers from my garden

I had fun making this one and thought I’d share.

I challenged myself this morning to spend 30 minutes before my corporate 9–5 arranging these cut flowers from my garden. I think I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!

This arrangement fought me the whole way. All flowers from my garden.

My dahlias are gorgeous, but the stems are still too short to give me the placement I wanted. Meanwhile, the apricot/yellow climbing roses naturally wanted to spill outward, and I wasn’t sure whether to fight that or lean into it. In the end, I decided to work with what the garden gave me instead of forcing every stem into place.

I do love the color combination, though.
Curious what you’d change if this were yours.

The goldfinches love my anise hyssop. Sharing some pix I took. One of the many reasons I love gardening.

Sharing an arrangement I made using flowers all from my garden.

Roses + an angle of the full garden + some cuttings I took before tomorrow’s storm.

Sharing some pix from my garden before today’s storm system in the Northeast. Hope you enjoy.

I reattempted a lattice peach pie and it was a success!

Redid my peach pie after I messed up the lattice crust a few weeks ago.

Some roses from my walkthrough this morning:

St Tropez

She’s pushing new growth despite the heatwave. Enjoy.
