I know there aren't many flowers there right now, but doing 30 days in November makes it hard to get pretty flower pictures in my yard. I prefer my flowers growing in the ground instead of a vase, at least most of the time. This fall weather has been amazing and I spent today out in the flower beds while Neil raked the lawn. I had salvia, lavendar, beard tongue, and flax that did well this year that I am hoping will be back next year. My corn flower did okay, so she might be back too but it's her first year and this fall it was a struggle.
When I'm in the garden with dirt in my fingernails my mind wanders letting me sort though problems and stresses. The benefit of my garden therapy time is beautiful flowers that thrive in the sunshine. It will be a long winter before I see the benefit of today's work but I know it's coming. Along the back I have irises planted from Harmony, mini daffodils in a few clumps, a row of crocus along the front (2 different bags and I didn't mix them up so I probably won't love them), chionodoxa in 2 clumps in the front bed and 2 more along the fence line, regular daffodils at the end of the fence, and some hyacinth. I will have to come up with summer/fall plants but for now I should be good through spring to early summer.
