Cottage garden

Lots of activity in the front cottage garden and very hard to capture it all as an “ensemble”. I do keep trying though. These photos are 1-2 weeks old (I’m getting lazier with every degree the temperature rises). I’ve got to get out there early tomorrow morning and get some shots with the day lilies in bloom. Problem is by 6 a.m. the light is almost too harsh, which explains why you aren’t viewing more current photos. Today I rose at 7 and it could have just as well been noon.

This garden may look like a mess to some people, but something’s always blooming and it sure is low maintenance. While weeds are taking over some of the newer more controlled beds at the moment, few weeds can grow in the cottage garden since every square inch of ground is occupied and any bare ground that may exist is shaded by a huge canopy of leaves.
