Flowers in My Garden

 penstemon

Last year I wanted to plant a flower garden of perennials to pick from occasionally. Other projects interfered but this year I have flowers in my garden. I like perennials because they don't need to be replanted every year. Eventually they'll grow large and can also be divided.

I'm off to the farmer's market this morning. One of the gentlemen who works the farmer's market said to Gary yesterday at the Trash to Treasures sale, "hope to see you and Miss Linda tomorrow". Ha. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
