My Garden: End of May
May came and went very quickly and I was particularly happy with how lovely the irises were this year.
This summer I hope to have a bunch of dahlias to paint, as I planted several tubers and have already installed their tomato cage supports to help me remember where they were planted. I also labeled them, which is not a common action of mine because I embrace the whole "wild gardening" attitude and often let volunteers grow where they seed themselves. This of course leads to a crazy garden in August and September.
Already I have gaillardia and batchelor buttons growing in places I did not expect this year, however I love them, so they remain where they are :)
Recently Naomi asked to take some photos of the garden. The photos below were taken by her. It is so magical seeing what she admires and likes enough to photograph.
Naomi loves the clover growing all over our lawn, and has been picking them to make bouquets and flower crowns lately.
