| What a beautiful butterfly! |

| This Hibiscus is simple and sweet. |

| This volunteer sunflower picked a nice spot next to the vegetable garden to grow. The flower is very small in proportion to the plant. It may be time to plant seeds next year. |

| Squash for breakfast, lunch and dinner? I love squash, but I can't do that either. If you're looking for ideas of what to do with squash, here are a few suggestions from an earlier blog. |

Beautiful as always, Bev! So sorry to hear about Hank. I have a question; in your 4th photo on this weeks blog, what is the silver plant in the foreground? I have this plant, it's almost like a mid-size ground cover and has spread very aggressively. I am getting ready to re-do one of my beds and need to move it out and wasn't sure what I should do with it. Thanks in advance for your help!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Dana
Dana, that plant is Silver Queen Artemisia. It is indeed quite a spreader. I added it to the garden during my "flower drying" days and it made a wonderful base for dried flower wreathes. As far as getting rid of it, I pull it out by the handfuls and don't worry a bit that I've hurt it any. You may have to get out the round-up, but I've never tried that on it. Good luck!
