Wordless Wednesday ... April Showers ...

A Visit To The Candy Store ...

I was at Bark and Garden in Olympia yesterday.  I needed some Sluggo Plus and some Tanglefoot and a few more herbs and ground covers.  It was like walking through a candy store ... and the shopping list went out the window ... first I found these ...

"Fuchsia Firecracker"

And I knew exactly where I was going to put them ... the shade garden next to the back door ...

Two of them up next to the pink hyacinths ...and one beside my pretty ferns ...

Next I found these ... 

"Pesto Perpetuo Basil"

A variegated foliage basil!  So of course I  had to buy the rest of the variegated herbs and some annuals for the wine barrel planting ...

I got back to my shopping list, found my ground covers and the Sluggo and Tanglefoot and was heading to the checkout stand when I saw it ... like I said; it's a candy store ... and I'm hopeless when it comes to candy : )

In My Own Backyard...

Spring makes its own statement,

so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, 

not the composer... Geoffrey B. Charlesworth

Enjoy!

On the Bright Side...

It's hard to find much that is good about the incredibly cold, wet summer we had here in the Pacific Northwest...but I found this today...normally my flower baskets would have dried up and gone to seed weeks ago, but this year they are still blooming and beautiful in the middle of September...

Enjoy!
