Happy Wednesday, friends! Another day, another opportunity to play in the garden! One of the reasons that I get up between five and five thirty in the morning to work is to be 'done' with the bulk of my work on my laptop by midday, and spend some time doing what I love the most... gardening. I'm still working via my phone the rest of the day, of course, but I love doing that while I am outside.

I was able to go to our local plant sale with my husband and my mother last Saturday. We bought so many new plants that we've never had in any of our gardens before, including:

Borrage

Penstemon

Hummingbird Mint

Yarrow

Astilbe

Japanese Anemone

Stock

Chinese Foxglove

Oakleaf Hydrangea

Dahlia

We also purchased some old favorites:

Tall Snapdragon

Tomato

Foxglove

I also made a trip to the garden center at Lowe's this week, and purchased:

Speedwell (Veronica Purple)

Superbena (Verbena hybrid)

Guara

Persian Shield

Still to purchase:

Cucumber

Zucchini Squash

Nasturtium

I am waiting on my amazing husband to build my fourth raised garden bed, and to help me fill our previously built new raised bed. I aim to add arches to these beds and make a beautiful tunnel to walk through with nasturtium vines blooming across the tops.

I do have some garden chores to complete today, so I'll finish my desk work soon, and then head out to get some of those things done while the air is still cool this morning.
