I picked up these cherry caramel phlox seeds on pure impulse in February and Iβm so glad I did! If they do well overwinter and stay true to color I might just add them to the seed catalog ππ±
Bronze Dragon snapdragon flowers turned out much more colorful than I was expecting. Definitely adding this to the catalog!

Purslane is one weed I donβt pull- itβs a low growing living mulch that helps the soil retain water, itβs good companions with pretty much everything in the garden, and itβs edible!
Omega-3 fatty acid, vitamins A,C,E and potassium, magnesium, & calcium π±π

This photo has not been edited- thatβs genuinely how vibrant blue larkspur is! Nature is wild.
Pun absolutely intended.

Every gardenerβs best friend. Mushrooms are a sign of healthy living soil, and ones like this milky conecap help decompose matter faster, making more nutrients available to plants. πβπ«

Show us your berries!
(As in the fruit. Donβt make this weird lol)
Ours are wee little ones but bursting with flavor π
I honestly donβt remember what variety they are- my daughter picked out a strawberry plant at a farmers market a few years ago, and these are the grandchildren π±π

Radish flowers are so pretty. This crop is for seed so Iβm encouraging bolting- but even when I grow them for eating I usually let a few go to flower for the pollinators and later the crunchy green seed pods.

The first echinacea bloom of summer isnβt perfect, but itβs perfectly beautiful.
Did you know: the name echinacea comes from the Greek word αΌΟαΏΞ½ΞΏΟ (ekhinos), meaning "hedgehog", due to the spiny central cone. Anyone whoβs saved seeds knows theyβre no joke lol

Potato flowers are so whimsical π
If your potatoes arenβt blooming, donβt worry- flowering isnβt necessary for tuber production π±
