Just a quick stroll through the garden to see what there is to see.
We have a bed next to the blue spruce that hasn’t received much attention. It’s out of the way, in a spot we don’t regularly walk by, so it is somewhat neglected. But there is a nice tangle of flowers in it right now.
Oh, my. Just look at all that catnip (Nepeta Cataria) that needs to be ripped out. The stuff spreads with abandon!
Hydrangea ‘Little Lamb’
We planted this compact hydrangea last summer and I’m pleasantly surprised by how well it is blooming this year. The plant is still so small, though, that the flower heads weigh the stems down. Should just get better and better each year.
Miscanthus ‘Morning Light’
Pretty isn’t it?
Nearby, the daylily seed pods are maturing.
The honesty plants (money plant / Lunaria annua) are setting a lot of seeds. As usual. 🙂
The front porch in the fading light of the setting sun.
We have company coming late this evening to stay until Sunday afternoon. Lots to do yet, so I’d better sign off. I’ll check in tomorrow. If you want to see what other gardeners are doing today, check out Fertilizer Friday at Tootsie’s place. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

My favorite is the Daisy’s but that was hard for me to choose!!! Your flowers are looking so pretty! I love how your photos make it look so natural! I had catnip once….ONCE…and never again! lol
My hydrangea is like yours …a little girl with big knockers!!! lol
thanks for linking in…I love to see your flowers!
Wow, so pretty!! Yeah, I always heard to do catnip in a container – I’ve not grown any before. That money plant is so cool. Everything really looks beautiful.
I’m brining back some catnip for my kitties, but it is staying in a pot!
Sarah, it spreads by the seeds, so deadheading helps control it. Or keep your pot on the patio. 🙂 ~~Rhonda
All of the shots are beautiful. I especially like the shots of the Money Plant seeds and the next-to-last shot, of the garden, which is just gorgeous.
