Purslane is one weed I don’t pull- it’s a low growing living mulch that helps the soil retain water, it’s good companions with pretty much everything in the garden, and it’s edible!
Omega-3 fatty acid, vitamins A,C,E and potassium, magnesium, & calcium 🌱💚

Radish flowers are so pretty. This crop is for seed so I’m 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.

I picked up these cherry caramel phlox seeds on pure impulse in February and I’m so glad I did! If they do well overwinter and stay true to color I might just add them to the seed catalog 💚🌱
Lettuce be friends.

Every gardener’s 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. 🍄🟫

Show us your berries!
(As in the fruit. Don’t make this weird lol)
Ours are wee little ones but bursting with flavor 🍓
I honestly don’t 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 🌱💚

Potato flowers are so whimsical 💚
If your potatoes aren’t blooming, don’t worry- flowering isn’t necessary for tuber production 🌱

The first echinacea bloom of summer isn’t perfect, but it’s perfectly beautiful.
Did you know: the name echinacea comes from the Greek word ἐχῖνος (ekhinos), meaning "hedgehog", due to the spiny central cone. Anyone who’s saved seeds knows they’re no joke lol

Bronze Dragon snapdragon flowers turned out much more colorful than I was expecting. Definitely adding this to the catalog!

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