With this very overdue post, I thought it best to follow-up my photo of my brown garden circa early Spring with one that shows how the same plot of land greened up. This photo was taken in late May and highlights my first wave of perennials, the blue ones: catmint, chives, and various sages. Unlike in recent years, where we had strangely hot springs, plants are blooming according to their usual schedule (instead of all at once). This takes some getting used to. I haven’t seen my plants follow their usual schedule for quite some time now.
I have my garden planned so that something new is going on pretty much all season from early Spring to late Fall. So at the time of this posting, the plants blooming in this photo have already waned. (Except for the catmint, which never wanes.) Stay tuned for photos of Wave 2!
