Garden Pretties

This clematis was almost dead when we moved here, and now it’s been healthy and blooming for weeks. Delphinium came out today:

Coreopsis and magenta yarrow, next to chives, pineapple sage, chard and radicchio:

Sedum, snapdragons, pansies, red chard, purple kale, cinnamon basil, Romaine, and blooming sedum next to the hens and chicks ground cover:

Lavender, rosemary, wormwood and yellow zinnias:

Chamomile in the foreground, with (blue) lacinato kale, lettuce, zinnias, mosquito geranium, blooming cilantro, anise hyssop, yarrow and more:

And lovely yellow roses by the mailbox:

No one believes my front yard garden is edible until they stand right in front of it. From the road, the blue and purple kales, red lettuces, chard and herbs intermingled with flowers and perennials look like a cheerful flower garden. The faeries are happy, too, including the one David calls “The Biggest Faery.” 😉
