The color scheme in my back flowerbed is supposed to be peachy pinks, oranges, and soft yellows. So I was surprised to notice this mini-scheme going on:
The yellow 'Topaz' roses, which are really only yellow in bud, then open up to a creamy white, plus
the 'White Heaven' lilies standing tall behind the rose bush.
A symphony of whiteness.
Okay, more like a duet.
But still, it was pretty!
As for the greens...
More broccoli harvested.
I didn't have it on my menu for another week, but it was already perilously close to going to flower.
So, I ended up processing it (soaking in brine to kill off bugs, then chopping, blanching, freezing).
Now I've got two more heads starting to flower that need chopping off pronto.
They look too far gone to save, though.
I need to point my little foragers toward the broccoli patch, to help me keep up with it.
I have become a huge fan of white in the garden. When in doubt about what color will work, go with white. Or at least that's my philosophy.
ReplyDeleteWhite is refreshing in summer, isn't it? Hey, I have a bunch of plants to share and wonder if you'd like to stop by and get some when you are down visiting the temple anyway. I live about 1 mile from the temple. I have Minuteman hostas, Brookside and Visions Light Pink geranium, Renior asiatic lilies and Fangio tall lilies, Pink Double Delight coneflowers, plus a bunch of other plants that I could dig a chunk off of if you wanted. I know it feels dicey to meet someone you met on the internet, but maybe if your husband came along you'd feel safe! If you want to, leave a message on my blog with your email so we can find a time and I can tell you my address - I have comment moderation on and won't publish your comment so your email stays private.
