“The Earth Laughs in Flowers.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
♥ Growing a garden is completely rewarding, but when you start to add flowers to the garden then you have paradise! I’ve had the best luck with Renee’s Flower Seeds and Botanical Interests Seeds, here’s a listing of the seeds that seem (for me) the simplest to sow and grow. ♥
Agrostemma-Purple Queen and Pink Contessa
→ For an exotic flower that dries well try NIGELLA: ‘Love in a Mist’ or “White Bridal Veil”
→ For a container of great color and beauty try: DAHLIA: ‘watercolors’ -
→ For a surprising old-fashioned amazing scent : CARNATIONS
Flowers can be started indoors and transplanted into the garden
→ This is the ‘garden fun’ summer flower : SUNFLOWER
Sunflowers growing in the vegetable garden
→ For keeping the pests away and adding color: MARIGOLD
Marigold planted near lettuce - an organic way to keep pests away
→ For feeding pet lizards and landscaping a large area with color: NASTURTIUM
→ A few more great flowers to plant: Forget Me Not, African Daisy, Zinnia, Passion Vine, and Lavendar.
Lavender- A 'year-round' plant in the garden
HAPPY PLANTING!
