Larkspur in the veggie garden

 Larkspur did very well in the vegetable garden. It's mixed here with Turnips, which couldn't be a worse scenario because larkspur is poisonous. I think it does well here because the mulch is thinner. Also, Shelagh's sweet peas are up about 10". That's a volunteer Leek in the foreground.

Campion seeded this spring.


Peony as yet to bloom. Maybe this year.


These poppies have bloomed twice but the flower never stay on more than a few days. This type is supposed to like more winter freeze than we get. Our 16deg week must have been good for them. I may put them in pots for next winter so they will get more chill. I hate to have to pamper more pots for something that blooms for only a week though.

The lambs ear seems happy with this location.

These sweet peas get no direct sun and were planted in late spring. They're growing very slowly.


Nigella planted this spring are a nice plant.

I added the miniature stock all around the bottom of the bench and near the pinks.
