While strolling Burien WA’s Art Walk last week, I saw this mixed blossom bouquet in such an unusual color scheme, sitting in front of a business.

My roses have begun. This year I used a better kind of fertilizer, with micro-nutrients, and am VERY happy with the results. Worth the money.

Chive plants are great. Months of tasty herbs for the kitchen, and pretty flowers, too!

Haven’t posted something from my garden in a bit. The columbines are looking lovely this year. I know that the fertilizing I did earlier helped a lot, since I didn’t do it last year and was sorry.
