We went to local farm today and bought flowers for one of the two raised beds we inherited and for a flower bed on the side of the house–the one area that seems to get “full sun” as the flower people call it. We bought–let’s see if I can remember it–baptisia, two verbenum, some sunflowers (music box), two foxglove, a magic fountain, a hen and chicks. We also got some seedlings–arugula and chard–for the late harvest, and some flower seeds that we’ll experiment with–hoping to get a late bloom before the end of the growing season.
The expedition started amid a downpour and we were choosing our flowers under an umbrella. By the time we got our haul home it seemed the rain was over, but a last blast had us running for cover and we didn’t get anything into the ground. Maybe tomorrow?
